/ c# s2 e1 J Z* C( d3 H''In 1927 Walter Lampl wrote an article for the Keystone jewelry trade magazine in which he proposed changing the November birthstone from topaz to jade. In this article he talked about the rich history of Chinese jade and extolled the virtues of this very versatile material. He particularly emphasized the advantages to the jeweler of being able to offer a variety of pieces all made from the same type and color of jade, such as “rings, bracelets and ear-drops, carved pendants, necklaces and brooches.” He pointed out that men would be likely to wear this stone as well, set in rings and cuff links. Lampl went on to state, “Sales of jade toilet articles, ornamental clocks, pin trays, fan frames, hand bags, topped and inset with this beautiful ‘Green Gem of the East,’ will follow when once the jade ensemble idea has been established in the mind of the customer.” The Keystone editors added a short article at the end of Lampl’s piece, meant to be used as a news release for local newspapers in every jeweler’s home community. Obviously, this idea never caught on, and the birthstone for November remains the topaz.. But Lampl’s ability to think big, not to mention his love of jade and other gemstones, is obvious in this article.''* ( J/ F) l w7 ?& y5 @
