Re: Early New Zealand Silversmiths
New Zealand watch manufacturers are restricting their sales to recognized members of the jewelry trade only. Imports in 1927 amounted to 159,289 English pounds and fell to 24,132 in the war year of 1942. Peak amount of 208,560 was reached in 1952, going down to 135,561 in 1953. Since then there has been a steadily rising trend, with 180,625 or $505,750 at the present rate of exchange.

Re: Early New Zealand Silversmiths
New Zealand has never enjoyed the fame of the Australian continent for its gold produce, but nevertheless since 1857 the gold fields of New Zealand have produced in round numbers £45,000,000. The gold exported reached its highest point in 1866, when 735,376 ounces, valued at £2,844,517, were exported. The present production is valued at nearly £1,000,000. A total area of 21,000 square miles of gold and silver bearing lands is already known and proved, both metals having been found over that area at numerous localities. A bulky handbook has been written on the subject by Mr. W. J. M. Larnarch, in which information is given, not only as to the precious metals, but other minerals found in the island.

LONDON
Gum jewelry from New Zealand is striving to make itself popular here. Although some charming effects can be obtained with this gum ornamentation, there is, of course, no value attaching to the “jewelry.” Some of this work recently brought here by returning visitors resembles amber. A heart- shaped pendant of wonderful transparency attracted most attention. A gum brooch, clouded and of a very deep color also came in for considerable admiration. These ornaments, at first glance, are all declared to be of amber.
