Quintessence by Lunt

Lunt introduced Quintessence in 1990. It is a multi-motif pattern. And although a rather new pattern, it has the lines and design that hearken back to the golden days of sterling. Note the different floral design on the terminal of each of the examples.

Violet by Wallace

Of all the patterns named "Violet", Wallace's Violet of 1904 best uses the violet motif in its design. It is truly a lovely testament to the flower.

Linenfold by Tiffany

Another pattern by Tiffany with a simple design. Linenfold was introduced in 1956. The motif on the stem resembles a folded napkin - just as its name says.
