Just before leaving France for America Ed. Hardy, of the D. C. Percival Co., was interviewed by a reporter of the New York Herald, Paris edition. He was quoted as saying: “The big demand in the jewelry trade now is for ‘stage’ or showy jewelry. Brass is even being used in increasing quantities to supply the popular demand for cheap and short-lived novelties. The best things in this line come from Paris where the ordinary traveler can get imitation diamond brooches, rings, and what not so cleverly made that few can tell whether they are genuine or not. The present mode which dictates scantier clothes for women and the increasing boldness of thugs in the United States are contributing causes for the decline in genuine specimens of the jeweler’s art.”
