Tiger Necklace c. 1903 Gold, agate, horn, enamelColoured glass in powder form and sometimes bound with oil, which is bonded to a metal surface or plaque by firing., outside diameter 22 cm Walters Art Museum, Baltimore
René Lalique revolutionized jewellery design by combining precious and non-precious materials selected according to their aesthetic appeal. By 1904, the year that he exhibited this necklace at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri, Lalique had progressed beyond Art Nouveau, the movement with which he was originally associated. He began emphasizing compositions with symmetrical components and the use of animal motifs in a style that would become fully manifested in the designs he created for moulded glass several years later.
