The refined and sympathetic work
of Edgar Simpson was represented by
chains and pendants in gold and silver,

six pieces sent by Arthur

the setting of precious
stones and jewels. Some
excellent rings were shown
by Theodore Lambert, in
which the use of enamels
with pearls was very pleas-
ing ; also some brooches
in quiet but distinctive
