Set of two antique prints titled 'Gem Brooches'. Two original chromolithographic plates of gem brooches. These prints originate from 'Gems', a catalog containing fascinating essays on 31 individual gem stones, as well as on heraldry, and the hardness of gems.

The prints were printed using real gold. Edwin Streeter, an eminent jeweler from London, active in obtaining pearls and gemstones at their sources, was also the author of several authoritative books on the subject.
