David Webb Ram Head 18K Gold Belt Buckle – Sculptural Vintage Piece
Signed David Webb Belt Buckle – A Collector’s Piece
A bold and sculptural David Webb creation, this 18K gold ram head belt buckle showcases the house’s iconic animal-inspired design and exceptional craftsmanship, signed Webb.
A powerful expression of David Webb’s unmistakable aesthetic, this 18K gold ram head belt buckle stands as a testament to the designer’s ability to transform functional objects into striking works of art. Renowned for his sculptural approach and fascination with animal motifs, Webb created pieces that command attention—this buckle being a compelling example.
The ram, a symbol of strength and determination, is rendered with remarkable precision, from the textured curvature of the horns to the polished contours of the head. The substantial gold weight enhances its presence, while the rich surface reflects the exceptional quality associated with the house of David Webb.
Highly sought after by collectors, signed David Webb pieces are celebrated for their bold design and enduring appeal. This buckle is not only a distinctive accessory but also a collectible object that reflects the heritage of one of America’s most iconic jewelry houses.

How do I know a piece is authentic, and can I trust DSF?
Buying fine jewelry online takes trust, especially at this level. DSF Antique Jewelry is a New York–based dealer with over 50 years of fine jewelry expertise. Every piece is examined for authenticity and condition before it is listed — we assess hallmarks, maker's marks, metal content, gemstones, and construction consistent with the stated period or designer. For signed pieces such as Cartier, Buccellati, or Van Cleef & Arpels, we verify maker's marks and signatures. We're glad to send additional photographs of any hallmark, or speak with you directly, before you decide.
Why does antique gold look different, and is surface wear normal?
Antique pieces were often made in gold standards less common today, such as 15ct (used in Britain only between 1854 and 1932), 9ct, or higher-karat continental gold, which give a warmer tone than typical modern 14k. Light surface wear, softened edges, and a gentle patina are normal and expected on antique jewelry — they reflect the age and authenticity of the piece, not flaws. We describe the true condition of every item honestly in its listing.
What do the hallmarks and maker's marks mean?
Hallmarks are small stamped marks that identify the metal standard, and often the maker, assay office, and date. They are one of the best tools for authenticating antique jewelry. We identify and explain the marks we find on each piece in its description, and we're happy to send close-up photographs of any hallmark on request so you can see exactly what you're buying.
Can pieces be resized or adjusted?
It depends on the piece. Many antique rings can be resized, but bands with all-around engraving, thin shanks, or gemstones near the base may be limited in how far they can safely go, and some pieces are best left as-is to preserve their integrity. We list each item's measurements as they currently are. If you're unsure whether something can be safely adjusted, contact us before buying and we'll give you an honest assessment for that specific piece.
How should I care for and store fine jewelry?
Clean gently with a soft cloth, avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and chlorine, and store pieces separately so they don't scratch one another. Remove rings and bracelets for heavy manual tasks. Antique gold is softer than modern alloys, so period pieces are best enjoyed with normal care. Treated well, fine antique jewelry lasts for generations — many of our pieces are already a century or more old and still beautiful.
