BOSTON JEWELERS EXHIBIT AT MUSEUM

Inspired by the enthusiastic response which the public accorded to their first cooperative display of fine gems at the Boston Museum, last fall, the same group of leading Boston retail jewelers conducted another similar exhibit in the Boston Museum of Natural History Oct. 24-27.

Again in charge of the showing was Dr. Edward Wigglesworth, director of the museum, under whose coordination the various cooperating jewelers loaned from their own stock and from their sources of supply a remarkable collection of unusual and outstanding gems. Admission was by invitation alone, cards being issued to the customers and friends of all of the cooperating jewelers who were Hodgson, Kennard & Co., Thomas Long Co., Shreve, Crump & Low Co., Smith-Patterson Co., and A. Stowell Co. Popular educational talks on jewelry were a feature of the exhibition. R. H. Van Esselstyn spoke on the afternoon of Oct. 24 on emeralds, and June Hamilton Rhodes, on Oct. 25, on colored gems in relation to present styles.

The exhibit was thronged throughout the entire period and the quality as well as the quantity of the spectators was uniformly desirable from the high-grade jeweler’s point of view. The venture has been so remarkably successful on both of its first attempts that it will undoubtedly be made a regular feature of the Boston Chapter of Registered Jewelers of the American Gem Society.
