18. Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) Hair ornament , ca. 1904 Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933) American Platinum, enamel, black and pink opals, garnets, H. 3 1/4 in. (8.3 cm) The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Gift of Linden Havemeyer Wise, in memory of Louisine W. Havemeyer, 2002 (2002.620) This hair ornament is one of the most extraordinary pieces of Tiffany's jewellery to survive, incorporating a remarkably realistic rendering of two dragonflies resting on two dandelion puffs, or seed balls. Thematically characteristic of his work, it shows the plants not at the height of bloom, but in a natural fading state, just before the seed pods are blown away. Remarkably, one of the puffs is portrayed as already partially stripped of its pods. The dragonflies, a familiar Tiffany motif, feature shimmering black opals along the back and in an almost unbelievable creation in metal filigree, gossamer like wings. The hair ornament was originally owned by one of Tiffany's most ardent patrons, Louisine W. Havemeyer.

19. Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) Necklace , ca. 1904 Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933) American Opals, gold, and enamel, L. 18 in. (45.7 cm) The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Gift of Sarah E. Hanley, 1946 (46.168.1) This necklace composed of grape clusters and leaves is one of the rare examples of Tiffany's earliest jewellery. Tiny circular black opals represent the fruit, and enamelling in shades of green on gold forms the delicate shimmering leaves. It was among the twenty-seven pieces that Tiffany made for exhibition at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis in 1904. The necklace was a gift to the Museum from Sarah E. Hanley, Tiffany's nurse and later companion, to whom he must have presented it.
