On Making Jewelry From 1916!
Hand-Wrought Jewelry
was created by
authors
who lived what they taught.
From the Introductory:
While the general fad for anything and everything handmade, no matter how crude, has been tempered with better judgment, there still remains a strong, rapidly, increasing and discriminating demand for well-designed, well-made, tasteful hand-wrought jewelry.
The Authors:
Samuel Jesse Vaughn was the Head of the Manual Arts Department at Illinois State in DeKalb, Illinois in 1916. This school became Northern Illinois University which still teaches jewelry making within the Art Department.
Henry Richard Sorensen, a former Kalo silversmith, was proprietor of The Orno Shop in DeKalb. This shop is no longer in operation. There is limited knowledge about the shop but any pieces from there are considered rare.
