Description
This is a rare David Webb brooch from 1965 as pictured in the beautiful coffee table book about Webb. The cabochon cut emeralds, rubys and sapphires are set into green enamel leaves with highlights of diamonds. The highly prized shell is from a Wentletrap snail. In the 18th century a single specimen sold for over 37 times the amount paid for an El Greco painting at the same auction. This is a very special piece of jewelry.
