Jewel and Medal Designs
Title
Jewel and Medal Designs
Description
Jewelers who specialized in fraternal jewelry often keep photographs or images of the different jewels, badges and awards they manufactured as a catalogue of their offerings. When a lodge or organization requested a new design, the jeweler frequently drew or painted a sketch of the proposed design to facilitate discussion. The watercolors displayed here are badge and jewel designs from the Boston shop of jeweler Frederick Widmer and his successor, Kenneth Park.
