Benjamin D. Shreve, of Shreve, Crump & Low, Inc., who attended the conference of retail jewelers at Providence last week under the auspices of the Gorham Co., praised the results in high terms. He emphasized the value of the instruction in advanced merchandising methods, and the advantage of association with jewelers from all parts of the country. In addition to presenting advanced ideas in their respective lines, said Mr. Shreve, the instructors all stressed the need for co-operation among all branches of an industry if business is to be maintained on a sound basis. They showed that the interests of the retail jeweler in this State are inseparable from those of the silverware manufacturer in Rhode Island. The instructors included economists and professors in merchandising from Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania, authorities on art in industries and experts in the distribution of merchandise.

Exhibit of Semi-Precious Stones by the Shreve, Crump & Low Co., Boston

Illustrating the fashion law that as go Milady’s styles in clothes, so go her styles in jewels, Shreve, Crump & Low Co., Boston, Mass., had an exhibition of semi-precious unset stones, “costume jewelry,” in one of the West St. windows last week which caused many passersby to stop and admire.

On velvet pads on a ground of gray silk, the spectrum was broken into half a hundred variations, from colors so rich and deep as to appear almost black, to clear transparent stones tinged with faintest pink or blue. These stones were fine examples of the lapidary’s skill in cutting, while others were rough stones.

The display contained Kunzite, a lilac stone; a pale pink Morganite, named for the financier; delicately clouded rose quartz from South America, in a five-inch sphere, and elephants carved from the same; amethysts from Uruguay; aquamarines of fine blue; a smoky topaz from Scotland; zircon from Ceylon; the tich dull blue lapis lazuli. There were also opals from Mexico, and turquoise and garnets from Nevada; tourmalines of a green different from the emerald, and also pink peridots of olive green from Ceylon; moonstones; pendants of rutilated quartz—a glassy formation flecked with whitish spots; emerald matrix in mixed colors and amethysts carved into violet shapes and medallions.

A new style in American art was explained in a lecture by Erik Magnussen, designer of silverware of unusual type on display at the store of Shreve, Crump & Low, Inc., last week. Mr. Magnussen told how the idea came to him. As he was walking down Fifth Ave., New York, one day, he noticed that the rays of the sun caused the formation of triangular shadows. That evening, in his home, he noticed that rays from an electric light also cast triangular shadows. He began experimenting and discovered that candle and gas light did not cause similar shadows. A few days later he spent several hours in an airplane above New York city and discovered that the city made a wonderful picture of triangular patches of light and shadow. Then he went back to his studio and wrought by hand the pieces of silver displayed at the Boston store. He spent many months on them and in the course of his work found new methods in “fire gilding.” In this ancient process mercury is combined with gold so that it may be used on wrought silver, making an enduring object. Later he discovered a similar method of oxydization.
