The Glitter & the Gold: Fashioning Americas Jewelry - Ulysses G. Dietz (Editor), Newark Museum (Corporate Author)

An exploration of the jewelry produced in Newark, New Jersey - America's fine jewelry capital - from 1850 to 1950. The four essays that make up the book contain never-before published documents concerning this jewelry mecca. Newark’s output as a jewelry center is represented with an iconic piece known as the “Butterfly Lady” brooch. Designed in 1904 by Henry Blank & Co., the brooch is covered in translucent enamels and highlighted with small diamonds. (review from Newark Museum web site)
