Tara wanted to buy her sister an especially precious and unique gift for her upcoming wedding. The bride to be was vibrantly healthy after a long illness, and the long delayed nuptials would take place in July.

Tara had always been drawn to the vivid green of emeralds and she was delighted to learn that from ancient times to the present, the green of an emerald has long been regarded as the color of life, beauty and constant love. There could be no other gift more fitting than an emerald bracelet or necklace for her sister’s happiest day.

Emeralds are so perfect for the lush days of spring, wedding or not, you can find some sumptuous emeralds available in our online collection now.

Perhaps you thought that camera phones were innovative and some might even be old enough to remember the comic world detective Dick Tracy’s two-way watch. What many may be unaware of is that “camera watches” first were introduced in the early 1900s. The Steineck Subminiature Wrist-camera,pictured here, is an example of such a camera watch that was in production in the late forties to mid-fifties.

“Invented by Dr. Rudolph Steineck of Switzerland and highly regarded as one of the better quality subminiature cameras made. Uses a 24mm circular film disk and automatic film advance. The viewfinder is a reflex concave mirror with a sharp centre line pointer, which permits sighting from above when the camera, worn on the wrist, is held in picture-taking position. Through the centre of the camera is a hole, an alternative direct-vision viewfinder.”
