But il one knows where to look for
unusual pieces of jewelry, many are TO
be found, for there has been of late
renewal of the art of making and
wearing jewelry and revival in the
use of old and unique silver. Women

are always treasured possessions,
since they possess some heritage no
other piece could have. Heirlooms,

ornaments of jewels set in golden
