Many, bare remarked that there is "frothing new ufider the sun-, but the extraordinary yield from the Caledonian mine is something that was never yet known of, and even that is nothing when compared to the handsome Jewellery now being made daily by F. H. lewisson, Jeweller, Queen-street, from the quartz-stane from that mine. There are earrings, brooches, pins, studs, solitaires, sleevelinks, &'c., ' &0., &c. Many may think it impossible for them to be finished iv Auckland, the articles being turned- out in such first-class style, but having visited the greenstone lapidary, as also the workshop where " the gold work is done (where anyone can see for themselves, should they feel so inclined), ■we can assure the public that the goods turned out by F. H. Lewisson (opposite the Union Bank). a^ purely Colonial, and would not disgrace t 9ny firfl-class house in London. J A look in the window will -^ell repay anyono, as thoracis always something new'to be seen ajayl admired, Spd never the same' goods two dajs "together. Advance ' JNew iZealandl — New Zealand Herald. —[Abvt.] By the invitation of F. H. Lewisson we paid a visit to his factory to inspect some ofticles now being finished, "We were well repaid for our trouble, and had' no idea of the perfection he has obtained in the working of aur: "erous quartz and greenstone into jewellery; also, a black stone found in Mari's laland, which, When cut and polished, surpasses the English jet. It may be as well 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 mado of light and dark gold-bearing quartz and greenstone, jn the shape of a star—a beautiful specimen of colonial workmanship ; a mosaic quartz and greeny Lone cross ; an anchor made of quartz and greenstone, for a gentleman's pin; a set of Studs, sleeve-links, and collar-buttons to match; quartz horseshoe in the centre of a piece of greenstone; and several masonic emblems, composed of quartz' and greenstone. These, when the gold mounting is finished, will be worthy inspection, and we should advise anyone desirous of sending hppie elegant preeerets to pay a visit to .E. JET. Lewiisan's .establishment, opposite the Union Bank, Queen-street.— -Daily Southern Cross.— ■ [Arivr.'} -••*■■ Is ■WAn inspection, of. Mr. E« H. Levnsson's shopj nearly opposite the Union Bank, Lower Queenr street, will show what can be done in the manufacture of jewellery in Auckland. There rings, lockets!, brooches,' earrings; and other forwaJJpf jewellery,,, pianufactured in -Mr. Lewiason'sßhopin Albert-street, are spread out in tempf ig profusion, Jiuid are no less remarkable,for their variety and originality, than forjtheir.tastefulness, and their very exceljent workmanship., We cannot undertake to describe here the various buds, leaves,, plants, flowers, and other things, formed out of gold, . silver, quartz, greenstone, cornelian, kauri gum, and other materials selected/for the ptirpose. ," Theyaxiust be iaspectedi m f«rder to thbir being appreciated, and this they will be largely 'by the -ifavotirers iof 'colonial; industries. Mr. Lewisson's jewaLLraryhas, of course, to compete witlj the cheaply .worked productions of Groat Britain" and the'Continont of Europe^ but frciHSb* iVZiad ;faotiMii^J to 1 fear.t Its superior quality and greater-.durability will not only tend to its being largely worn here, but to its being extensively exported. Those desiring to send presents home will find all they could wish in JMIr. Lewisson's shop to select from. Many' of the articles for- inspection and sale are as unique as they are beautiful. Mr. Lewißson's investment of capital, spirit of enterpriaef-and artistic .akilli'deserve all the. countenance arid support thtft can be accorded to him. — Evening-News. —|\Advt.] - j I t■ I " ■'* ' ''i ""l" !
