David Webb (1925–1975)

David Webb (1925–1975) was an American jeweller who left his mark on jewellery design in the 1960s. David Webb’s bold creations, whilst never overly complex or overloaded, remain both modern and timeless. Known for his mastery of enamel work, Webb developed a vast and surprising collection of animal motifs in vibrant colours. His famous and loyal clients included the Duchess of Windsor, the actress Elizabeth Taylor and the First Lady of the United States, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The latter brought the jeweller to the White House, where he fulfilled commissions for diplomatic gifts.
