Many have remarked that thero is nothing jjew under 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 tlis handsomo Jewellery now being made daily by F. 11. Lewisson, Jeweller, Queen-street, from the quartz-stone from that mine. There are earrings, brooches, pins, studs, solitaires, sleevelinks, &0., &0., &c. Many may think it ' impossible for them to bo finished in Auckr. ■ land, the articles being turned out in such; first-class stylo, but having visited the green-, stove lapidary, as also the workshop whore 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. Lewißson (opposite the Union Bank) are purely Colonial, and would not disgrace any first-class house, in London. A look in tho window •will well repay anyone, aa there ia always something new to be seen and admired, and never the same goods two dajs together. Advance New Zealand!— Neio Zealand Herald.— [Advt.] By tho invitation of F. H. Lewisson we paid a visit to his factory to inspect some articles now being finished. We were well repaid for our trouble, and had no ides, of the perfection he has obtained in the working of auriferous quartz and greenstone into jowellery; also, a black stone found in Mari's Island, which, when cut and polished, surpasses tho 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 made of light and dark gold-bearing quartz and greenstone, in the shape of a star—a beautiful specimen of colonial workmanship ; a mosaic auartz and greenstone cross ; an anchor made of quarta 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 bo worthy inspection, and we should advise anyone desirous of sending homo elegant presents to pay a visit to P.H. Lewissor.'s establishmsnt, opposite the Union Bank, Queen-street. — Daily Southern Cross. — [A DVT.] An inspection of Mr. F. H. Lowisson's shop, nearly opposite tho Union Bank, Lower QueenBtveet, will show whnt can be done in the manufacture of jewellery in Auckland. There rings, lockets, brooches, earrings, and othd'r forms of jewellery, manufactured in Mr. Lewis3on's shop in Albert-street, are spread out in tempting profusion, and are no less romarkablo for their variety and originality, than for their tastefulness, and their very excollent workmanship. We'eannot undertake to describe here tho various buds, leaves, plants, flowers, and other things, formed out of gold, silver, quartz, greenstone, cornelian, kauri gum, and other materials selected for tho purpose. They must be inspected, in order to their being appreciated, and this they will be largely by the favourers of colonial industries. Mr. Lowisson's jewellery has, of course, to competo with the cheaply worked productions of Gi-L-at Britain and the Continent of Europe, but from this it has nothing to fear. Its superior quality and greater durability -will not only tend to its being largely worn here, but to its being extensively exported. Thoso desiring to send presents home will find all they could ■wish in Mr. Lewiseon's shop to select fron?. 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 countenance and support that can be accorded to him.-— Evening News. —[Advt.] WANTED toSell—A Singbb'sSEWINGMACHINE, for Leather Work; price £12. —Apply to H.
