They can be made effective in so many different ways. For a long time our designers have made a specialty of such problems. We believe that no other jewelers in Boston, exclusively retailers, own and operate a workshop of experts on their premises. From your own jewels we can make wonderful individual bits of jewelry as thrilling as a shopping trip to Paris. An economy — yet competing gracefully with Fifth Avenue and r\ue de la Paix! One uncommon touch, perhaps, that only skill and long experience could suggest — and a result beyond your fond- est dreams ! Isn't it worth doing ? BIGEIDW KENNARD&G©. JevOelers.
