The company then created its second iconic design, the snake bracelet late in the 1890s.By 1896, Charles Whiting had partnered with company co-founder Edward Davis, and the name Whiting & Davis was born.Throughout the 20th century, Whiting & Davis created highly sought-after metal mesh handbags, jewelry, and other accessories.
