18 Karat Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Emerald and Enamel Ring, David Webb

Of crossover design with two sculpted leopards, accented by black and white enamel spots, set with round diamonds weighing approximately 1.50 carats, with four cabochon emerald eyes, size 6¼, fitted with inner sizing band, signed Webb.

In good condition. The diamonds are approximately G-H color, VS clarity. The heavily included cabochon emeralds range from a deep medium green to a medium slightly bluish green. Some moderate enamel loss, predominantly to the underside of the ring, commensurate with wear and not visible when worn. Nicking and denting to the shank as well as porosity and splitting, possibly from a previous sizing. Due to the enamel on the underside of the ring, it cannot easily be sized.
