Description
- David Webb
- gold, carnelian, diamond
Composed of octagon-shaped carnelian links with polished gold spacers, supporting a carnelian pendant carved in the form of a dragon, set with round diamonds weighing approximately 7.65 carats, length 20½ inches, signed Webb; three links detach for variety of wear; circa 1970.
Condition
In very good condition. The medium-deep brownish orange carnelian is a shade deeper in color than indicated by the printed catalogue. The diamonds are approximately F-G color, VVS-VS clarity. Signed on the pendant's reverse. Please note that two, not three links at stated in the catalogue, can be detached to allow the necklace to be worn at a length of 16 1/2 inches. There are three additional links (not pictured) that would allow the necklace to be worn as 25 inches, but a gold foldover clasp would need to be created to attach them.
