I believe Glenn is referring to the anthemions or palmettes that are a favorite design element of Marie-Étienne Nitot and his son, François Regnault Nitot. Not all of the following jewels were made by Nitot but they are the likely jeweller for most of them.
Empress Josephine of France's cameo tiara made by Marie-Etienne Nitot in 1809 and now with the Swedish Royal Family
Empress Marie Louise of France's emerald tiara and necklace made in 1810 by Francois Regnault Nitot. The tiara is in the Smithsonian and the necklace is in the Louvre.
