This charming David Webb Kingdom Contemporary Tiger Emerald Brooch, made in the Contemporary era, 2018, is crafted in 18K yellow gold and platinum set with marquise-shape green onyx, cabochon emeralds, and brilliant-cut diamonds. A Certificate of Authenticity from David Webb dated August 6, 2018, accompanies this piece.
The double pinstem brooch features the quizzical placid face of a noble beast crafted in highly polished gold, his eyes bezel-set with two round cabochon emeralds outlined in gold. Although he shows his teeth, he is kind. His cute and approachable nose scruff sparkles with brilliant-cut round diamonds arranged in a stylized shape crafted in platinum. We can tell he is a tiger from his white and black enamel accent stripes, which makes his spectacular mane arranged in an almost double radiating halo of 33 marquise-shape green onyx gemstones not so much a mane at all, but instead the surround of his natural green habitat from which he emerges. A big bushy mane would thwart his tiger strategy; this way he is better able to escape notice in dense foliage.
The Kingdom collection by David Webb first appeared in 1957 as an animal bracelet, unleashing “a near-obsession with whatever could fly, crawl, swim, or run.” At times the animal brooches, rings, bracelets, and earrings are abstract and reduced to mere pattern, like various zebra-striped or giraffe-spotted jewels. At other times, they are full body, like his Leopard Brooch, looking back over his shoulder with a similar coy expression to our Tiger. Webb left an incredibly rich and diverse archive of jewelry designs, including more than 40,000 original drawings and sketches. Today the company creates designs in the spirit of his vision with skilled artisans retained by his workshop, still located above the original flagship Madison Avenue store. There are so many fun iterations of each creature, there is truly a perfect spirit animal for every one of us.
Approx 0.99 carats diamonds, Approx. 46.28 grams overall weight; 18k yellow gold and platinum. Signed David Webb, accompanied with Certificate of Authenticity; circa 2018.
