Seme years ago Nh. EcKAEr came to Homo
lulu, bringing with him a fne taste trained t
the manufacture of jewelry in many curious anc
beautiful designs. He did much to improve tn
taste of the people in his art. and to this day ",
find Mr.. Max EcKARr, established at Nos. liz
and lis Fort street, manufacturing most beauti
full articles Of ~jewelry. More especially does he
exercise his art in the production of delicate and
original articles from the kukui nut and shells.
We are, many of Us. familiar with the necklaces
and armlets that have been made from the
kukui nut by the natives, and many of them are
very pretty. Mr.. Eckart takes these nuts and
mounts and polishes them until they resemble

We have seen a butterfly With kukui nut wings
set with delicate golden and enaneled spots.
with little diamond eyes and golden untenna,
that were simply exquisite. Anything into which
the material can be cut and carved can be made
by him, and in the setting and finishing of shell
jewelry he is particularly skillful and original.
For a memento of the Islands in the shape of
jewelry these kukui and shell articles are ahead
Of anything we have seen. Any one having some
one thing that they prize as "a relic of the past.
or as peculiar to the Islands, can trust to Mr..
Eckart's taste to have them mounted and en-
bellished in god taste and workmanship. In
Mr. Eekart's store can b. consulted Flitner's
standard clock for time, aud in the show cases
are very many handsome articles OF jewelry. The
selection Of plated ware displayed in the
large upright case at the back of the store COM
prises many desirable articles selected with
much care.
