St. Dunstan by Tiffany

St. Dunstan was designed for Tiffany by Albert A. Southwick and introduced in 1909. It is a simple but elegant pattern with a square ended terminal which gently goes into a point at the top of the stem. All three points are decorated with a simple leaf like embellishment.  The stem is a continuation of the lines that surround the terminal which open onto the shoulder. Southwick also designed Winthrop for Tiffany.
