1t must not be thought that the
creator OF these particular art pieces
was the first to discover the charm and
beauty of enamel jewelry. Others in
France. in Sweden and elsewhere have
worked in enamels and precious stones,
but 1t Is asserted that none has sue
ceeded in getting the same degree of
transparency and delicacy OF coloring
achieved by the owner of the little
studio in New Jersey. Knowing that
the feminine fancy Graves novelty as
well as beauty, the artist set to work
to produce both. To him the ornaments
are not merely necklaces and pendants
and brooches; they are paintings and
sculptures, rare blendings of tones and
forms and modelling.
Fuchsias are wonderfully beautiful
when wrought in enamel. The deep
shades of their petals are difficult to
produce. Two such flowers suspended
from a diamond studded bit of rococo
work make a pendant that is delight
full. From the center OF the flowers
shoot forth tender green gold sprays,
each one tipped by a tiny diamond.

hung is both unique and beautiful A
