David Webb’s Radiator Hoops command the Emmy Awards stage
Black enamel and brilliant cut diamonds converge in a pair of sculptural earrings that anchor an evening of television's highest honours. David Webb's Radiator Hoops prove that jewellery, like great design, speaks loudest when it lets geometry do the talking.

The Radiator Hoops by David Webb are a masterclass in bold geometry: two elongated ovals descend from smaller squared studs, their architectural form created through the interplay of deep black enamel and pale yellow gold. At the widest point, brilliant cut diamonds punctuate the metal in bands that catch light with geometric precision, a deliberate contrast to the matte enamel that frames them.
What makes these earrings particularly commanding is their proportional drama. The lower loop extends generously, catching the collarbone line and moving with the body, while the upper square connects directly to the lobe with absolute clarity. The black enamel wraps around the underside and outer curves, whilst the gold reveals itself at the structural points where diamonds sit. This is jewellery conceived as form first, with precious materials serving the architecture rather than overwhelming it.
Worn at the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards, the Radiator Hoops delivered exactly what such an occasion demands: jewellery that photographs beautifully, that commands attention without screaming for it, and that suggests a wearer who understands that true luxury operates through restraint and precision rather than excess. The earrings moved through the evening with their wearer, catching light as she turned, their geometric silhouette remaining pristine and bold regardless of angle or movement.
David Webb jewellery is available through select fine jewellery retailers and the brand’s own channels.
