! 100000 invested in the iewelry industry of
this country, exclusive of that in Silvcrware
manufacture. The New York Evening
Post, in an extended review OF the progress
and present condition of the iewelry trade,
asserts that in variety of designs and beau
ty of workmanship, American jewelry is
unequaled in any part of the world. There
are it is said, no less than Il thousand
different designs in lace pins, as many more
in earrings, and unequal variety in many
other articles. We have not only the most
complete machinery, but the largest cstab-
lishments in the world for the manufacture
of iewelry. The most extensive house in
Europe "a firm in Paris has but $50 work
men, while a single factory IN Newark, n.
j., keeps 800 busy upon genuine gold work
in ordinary times, and there are several 9TH
er American houses which employ from one
hundred to three hundred meA each upon
high.c class goods. The enormous extent OF
the manufacture here is made more clearly
apparent when it is known that these great
firms are chiefly engaged in the production
of a few specialties. The largest factory
mentioned is operated principally for
breast-pins, earrings, bracelets, chains, and
lace-pns. Another establishment is espe-
cially devoted to the making Of bracelets
and gold and cameo rings, and so on through
the different branches of manufacture
The very finest iewelry to be obtained in
workshop in New York, whose productions,
impressed with a peculiar originality and
beauty in the most minute details, are
eagerly taken by the most noted dealers
with but little regard to price.
