Jewellery and silver from the museum collection.

Following the documentation of the museum’s historic jewellery collection by Margaret Wirepa it was decided that a selection of jewellery from the collection would be exhibited. Margaret Wirepa and Margaret Mettner have selected 27 items of jewellery for the exhibition, half of which come from the Lysnar Collection gifted to the museum in 1955. The selected treasures include brooches, necklaces, cameos, an agate pill box, and a locket. The oldest item in the exhibition is a gold watch and key dating to 1828. Twelve sterling silver accessories for men have been selected by Tony Field from the museum’s silver collection to be exhibited with the jewellery. These items include sovereign cases, match cases and propelling pencils.

The cameo brooch illustrated above is from the Lysnar Collection and is dated circa 1880.
