Six Designs for Jewelry
Six designs for jewelry, including smaller motifs. There are two large designs on the page, one shaped like a leaf with a red stone and two smaller white stones. The other design has the shape of a dragonfly. Both could be worn as a brooch but might also be meant as the tip of a stickpin. The four other designs are smaller motifs made up out of a fine silver or gold band with a precious stone. The designs are individually numbered (continuous from the previous pages).
