Regular price
$25,000
Created circa 1905-1910, designed by Louis Tiffany with Julian Munson, these Tiffany & Co. cuff links are composed of citrine, plique-à-jour enamel, and 18K gold. Each shaped double link centers a circular cabochon citrine framed by bead and arched, reeded motifs, highlighted by tapering, slender panels of bi-color plique-à-jour enamel combining areas of green and orange hues. Of delicate goldwork and unusual form, these early cuff links express the subtle beauty of Tiffany & Munson's vision for American design.

During their collaboration, Tiffany and Munson turned not only to plants and flowers for design inspiration but also to the powerful, timeless patterns of Egypt, Byzantium, Mughal India, as well as, here, motifs drawn from Saxon, Celtic and Northern European art. The cuff links' fields of bi-color enamel are of the plique-à-jour variety, a technique associated with Munson's direction of Louis Tiffany's jewelry design studio.
