Jewelry Reveals History? Increasing demand for all-Amerlcan Jewelry, designed from anclpnt models fashioned by the Aztecs and Toltecs of Mexico, has brought to light a striking similarity between thpih and those of the contemporaneous Roman empire; The characteristic features of Ro man Jewelry were Its broad surfaces, uasslve construction, use of large stones and open-work ornament. The same features are equally true of the aboriginal American Jewelry, and of flat of the restoration now in vogue. Betokening strength and luxury, they both differed radically from the Jewelry of the Greeks and Etruscans, especially in that the latter was chlef distinguished by its delicate beauty and minutely cunning workmanship. Comparatively, It is the difference be tween the imposing canvas and the ttiinlature. Montezuma and the Aztec aobles? and their Toltec predecessors ?wore this mugnlflcent, colorful jew dry, and so did the emperors and no bles of Rome, while both great em pires were flourishing at the sam?, pe riod.
