Proper Things in Jewelry Delicate and varied silver and gold pieces
In Jewelers' Review a survey highlights silver ball earrings gaining favor over gold, and a range of dainty items. Gold plated blades, Dresden handles, fruit knives, hammered silver card-trays, and enameled two obelisks cuff-buttons appear beside oxidized silver anvils, paper-weights, and a bear statue. Delicate brooches, emerald star accents, garnet and turquoise pencil cases, and a three-branch glass bowl with two enclosed stags are described along with a gold miniature scythe brooch and a comical face brooch. The horse shoe remains a favorite, and a silver nut-bowl features relief open roses and a tree-branch handle.
