Many have remarked that there is nithine new,under the sun,, but the extraordinary yield horn, the Caledonian mine is soinejihiii that was never yet known of, and even tWu nothing when compared to the handson* Jewellery now being made daily by F. H. Lewisson, Jeweller, Queen-street, from' the quartz-stone from (hat mine. There are e». rings,, brooches, pins, studs, solitaires, sleev*. lugM, &0.,., &o.,&o. .Many'may think it impossible for them to'be finished in Auckland, the articles being turned out iv such firs.t-class stylej but having visited the green- ' stone lapidatyj as also-, the workshop where fche gold work is dono h (Tfherß anyone can see for themselves, • shoiilct <they feel so inclined) we can assure the publiothat the goods turned out by ■1.1, Lewisson' (opposite the Union Bank) are purely Colonial, and would not disgrace any first-class house in London. A look in the window will well repay anyone as there is always something"new to' be '•■een*'*-" and admired, and never the same goods two dajs together. Advance-New Zealand l~ New Zealand Herald. —£Advt.] ""By the invitation of F. TL Lewisßon*we"° s* paid a visit to his factory to inspect some articles now being finished. We were well repaid for. our trouble, and had no idea of the perfection he has obtained in tht working of auriferous quartz and greenstone into jewellery; also, a black stone found i» : Mari's Island, which, when cut and polished, surpasses the English jet. It I may be as well Pj to mention a few articles now being finished, under order for the outgoing mail, viz., a pair of black earrings and brooch ; a mosaic brooch made of light and dark gold-bearing quarts and greenstone, in the shape of a star a beautiful specimen of colonial workmanship';"'"' a mosaic quartz and greenstone crods ; an anchor made of quartz and greenstone, for a gentleman's pin ;*a Bet of studs, sleeve-links, and collar-buttonb to match; quartz horseshoe in the centre* of apiece of greenßtoniV and several masonic emblems, composed of quart* and greenstone. These, when the gold mounting is finished, will be worthy inspection,- and we should advise anyone deSirous of sending home elegant presents to pay a visit to F. H. Lewisson's establishment, opposite the Union Bank, Queen-street. — Daily Southern Cross.— [AjDVT.] An inspection of Mr. F. H. Lewision's shop, nearly opposite the Union Bank, Lower Queenstreet, will show what can be done in the manufacture of jewellery in Auckland. There rings, lockets, brooches, earrings, and other forms of jewellery, manufactured in Mr. Lewisson's shop in Albert-street, are spread out in tempting profusion, and are no less remarkable for their variety and originality, than for their tastef illness, and their Very excellent' workmanship. We cannot undertake to J describe here the various buds, leaves, plants,: flowers, and other things, formed out of gold, silver, quartz, greenstone, cornelian, kauri gum, j-, and other materials selected for the purpose. They must be inspected, in order to their being ■ appreciated, and this they will be largely by, the | favourers of colonial . industries. Mr. , Xewisßon's jewellery has, of course, to compete with the cheaply worked productions of Great v. Britain and .the: Continent of Europe, but from this it has nothing to fear. Its superior ty and greater durability. will not. only ,: ■ tend to its being largely worn here, but to its ';., being extensively exported. Thost desiring to * send presents home will find all they could wish in Mr. Lewisson's shop to select from. Many of the articles for inspection and. sale are as unique as they are beautiful. Mr. Lewisson's investment of capital, spirit of enterprise, and artistic skill deserve all the«s. countenance and support that can be accorded to him.—Evening News. —[Advt.]
