Louis Comfort Tiffany and Julia Munson were early partners in the creation of artistic jewelry, collaborating from 1904-1914. In 1906, they showed a necklace at 1906 Paris salon. The pair's original handmade jewels in this style formed of twisted wire and plique-à-jour enamel, based loosely on classical forms, are feather light and exquisite.
