Lauren Hutton & David Webb Earclips. Photo: Sotheby's
These David Webb floral earclips are the perfect match for Lauren Hutton: he is an iconic American jeweler and she is the face of all-American beauty. These ear-hugging vines pair perfectly with Hutton’s plunging neckline and relaxed hairstyle to create a look that is as contemporary today as when it was shot in 1973.
