GENUINE JEWELS.
SETTING FOR MINIATURES. Received July 2, 8.5 a.m. MELBOURNE, July 2. Twelve miniatures purchased from the collection of J. Pierpont Morgan, which have been on view at the National Art Gallery for twelve months, have suddenly become doubly valuable as the result of a casual .visit to the gallery of a jewel expert, who noticed that the frames were studded with genuine pearls and diamonds. These are worth probably as much as the miniatures, which originally cost £3250 when purchased by the Felton bequest for the Melbourne gallery.
