About this book
Jewels and the Woman discusses feminine adornment and says that the general pattern of the face must be considered first when selecting an earclip. The advice warns that earclips which are too long make a person look older, while small earclips on a round face make the face seem broader and the features heavier.
The appraisal discussion recommends keeping valuations current, noting that stone values constantly change and usually increase, and advises notifying the insurance broker at once of significant changes. The inventory advice includes every piece of jewelry, even less expensive items worn every day, which the text identifies as likely to be lost or stolen. The account of sardonyx describes its use as a charm against warts, boils, and cramps, and as protection against the evil eye.
