Decades ago, I had the good fortune of acquiring crates of never-used jewelry parts, circa 1900 - 1940. Still wrapped in their delicate tissue, packed in crumbling paper boxes, we regard each piece as a little treasure, each as an emissary of its illustrious place in fashion history. Interesting to ponder that they're seeing the first light of day after 75+ years in a box... Btw, the last photo is an example of what these fragile old boxes look like...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe look and movement of Art Deco jewelry was influenced by the 1920s and 30s fascination with all things Asian.

When the bell rang, pencils dropped. We filed out to the warm tar playground in double lines, each of us holding a classmate’s hand—mine usually caught in Shorty Martin’s damp grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"522\" data-end=\"894\"\u003eA record player blared \u003cem data-start=\"545\" data-end=\"574\"\u003e“Stars and Stripes Forever”\u003c\/em\u003e as we marched. My friend Vicki Reynolds sang a mischievous version of the lyrics under her breath, setting off quiet snickers until a teacher hushed us. Once the entire school had gathered, the music stopped and Mr. Lyons stepped to the microphone.
