Well now – I was sharing my books with a lady I know, Mistress Sine, who also makes jewelry.  And a thought came to me, and was expressed.

I would like to create a syllabus of period gems.  Somehow get as many resources together as I could, compare the names and descriptions and create a master list (or as best as I can).

whoppee, new effort in jewelry.  Wish me luck, I think I’m nuts!
