THE OLD and THE NEW 
We illustrate here two examples of the style of remounting work being produced at our shop. 
Cuts of Ring and Pendant show the fine finished sketches submitted to our customers, 
Lavalliere was set with customer’s 21 diamonds taken from pins Al and A2. 
The beautiful ring was set with customer’s 12 diamonds taken from rings B2, B3, B4 and 
from pin B1 together with seven small diamonds furnished by us. 
Old Fashioned Jewelry Remounted 
The time has passed by when a jewel is fashionable simply because it is a diamond- 
set ring, pendant or brooch. The styles in jewelry change juss as surely as in gowns, and 
never before has there been a period when ‘‘Dame Fashion’’ has been so exacting in 
her demands that the jewelry of today shall possess true artistic merit as well as fair 
commercial value. The old style gold-set pieces with often very little artistic merit have 
given way to platinum-set jewelry, beautiful in design and workmanship. 
Platinum is a pure white metal, extremely hard when combined with iridium, and 
when used as a mounting for diamonds holds them more securely and shows them to bet- 
ter advantage than gold. Many designs, lacey in appearance, can be fashioned in plat- 
inum, because of its strength, in a way that would be impossible in gold. Through the 
medium of our designer and workshop we can fashion the stones mounted in your owa 
old-fashioned pieces, either alone or with others we may add, into an exquisite piece of 
platinum jewelry. We find that many people prefer one or two real handsome pieces 
rather than several smaller ones, none of which has any particular merit. Especially . 
high-class workmen are employed on this work and the result is a beautiful ring, brooch 
pin, bar pin or lavalliere, in correct style and embodying original ideas, making it stand 
out in striking contrast to ordinary ‘‘stock’’ pieces of jewelry.

As a Christmas suggestion we think this especially appropriate and would be pleased 
to offer ideas on the remounting of your jewelry, approximating the cost and furnishing 
finished designs to give a clear idea of the appearance of the finished articles. Should 
vou be interested we sincerely trust you will give the matter your immediate attention. 
The busy days just preceding Christmas make it almost impossible to execute this work 
after the tenth of December.
