Many have remarld that there is nothing new under the eunlbufc the extraordinary yield from the CaledA an mine is something that was never yet knU of, and even that is nothing when compjkd to the handsome Jewellery now being \ a d e ' daily by E. H. Lewisson, Jeweller, deep-street, from the quartz-stone fr -m that^ine. There are earrings; brooches, pins, sids, solitaires, sleevelinks, &c, &0., &c. Many may think it impossible for them to I finished in Auckland, the articles being turned out in such first-class style, but havitr visited the greenstone lapidary, as also i e workshop where the gold work is done (wire anyone can see for themselves, should thy feel so inclined), we can assure the public tat the goods turned out by JF. H. Lewisson (o^osite the Union Bank) are purely Colonii, and would not. disgrace any first-class hase in London. A look in the window will -vjell repay anyone, as thee is always somethig new to be seen and admired,, and never tie same goods two dajs together. Advance; New Zealand!— New Zealand Herald. —[Ajvt.] By the invitation of fl H. Lewisson we ■p*}.d a, visit to his factoy to inspect some Articles now being finished. We were well repaid for our trouble, aid had no idea of the perfection he has obtained in the working of auriferous quartz and greenstone into jewellery; also, a black stone found in Mari's Island, 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 broosh ; a mosaic brooch made of light and dark gold bearing quarta and greenstone, in Ihe shape of a star—a beautiful specimen of colonial workmanship ; a mosaic quartz and greenstone cross ; an an* .chor 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 greenßtone. 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 TJmon Bank, Queen-street. — Daily Southern Cross. — [Advt.]
An inspection of Mr. F. H. Le^dsson'sshop,. nearly opposite the Union Bank, Lower Queen* street, 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 tastefulness, and their very excellent .workmanship. We cannot undertake to describe here the various buds, leaves, plants, flowers, and other things, formed out of gold, eilver, quartz, greenstone, cornelian, kauri gum, and other materials selected for the-purpose. They must be inspected, in order to their being appreciated, and this tbey will be largely by the favourers of colonial industries. Mr. Lewisson's jewellery has, of course, to compete with the cheaply worked productions of Great Britain and the Continent of Europe, but from 'his it has nothing to fear. It's 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 Mr. Lewisson's shop to select from. Many of. the ..articles for inspection and pile are as unique as they are beautiful. Mr. Lewisson's investment of capital, spirit.of enterprise, and artistic skill deserve all the countenance and support that can be accorded to him.— Evening News.— [Abvt.]
