One of the developments of the old

watch bridges, which are small cir
cular pieces of gold or silver cut out
in openwork fashion and covered
with fine chasing. They are used
alone to form bracelets, necklaces or
belt buckles. or are used to join semi
precious stones in the form of a neck
lace. One dog collar recently seen
showed alternate watch bridges and
