     summary: Few men had come to London with stronger recommendation than Kershaw Klein, and even the banks had trusted him implicitly.

     summary: Enamel returned into fashion, and accomplished its chief triumph with painting _en plein_ in fine transparent tones over _guilloché_ gold. A smaller circular brooch of similar _fabrique_ has a diamond above and a pale ruby below, and is encircled by radiating buds of flowers, the centre of each bud being formed of a ball of white enamel.

     summary: His works have this great charm in my eyes, that they are neither show-case jewels nor mere _bijoux de parade_, things intended solely for display. At the time of the great Congress of Vienna, when the representatives of the Powers met in that city to settle the affairs of Europe after the fall of Napoleon--that is to say, about one hundred years later than the first introduction of the _baroque_ style from Italy, French work, though it was of a crude description, exercised an influence over Austrian jewellers, and what seemed like a second renaissance of the art of ornament began in Austria.
