Earrings, Jewellery: A Chat About Earrings By Robert Machray. An Original Article From The Lady’s Realm – Circa 1898 – 99

Earrings through the ages. Introduction: ‘One of the oldest and most beautiful stories in any literature is that which tells how Abraham sent his faithful steward to the land of his kindred to get a wife for his son Isaac; how the steward, led by the Angel of the Lord, fared upon his journey until he came to the well at which there presently appeared the maiden Rebekah, the damsel who was “very fair to look upon”; and how, on giving him the covenanted sign, she was presented with certain jewels of price, among them being a gold earring of half a shekel weight, so that the suitor might find favour in her eyes.’ An original article (1898 – 99) – 6 pages with some illustrations H:24 x W:16cm
