ROTHSCHILD Jules (Editeur) Rue Saints-Peres, Paris: LE BIJOU Revue Artistique et Industrielle de Bijouterie, Joailleries et Orfevrerie Paris, 1878-1899 LE BIJOU was basically a pattern book. The subscribers would have been manufacturing jewellers, small and large firms in Paris and elsewhere - or perhaps shops which could use the suggestions to order pieces from their workshops; or again perhaps shops used them to show to clients who could order " one off pieces that could be made specially for them,

Each annual volume consists of 24 coloured plates which were probably originally issued monthly or bi-monthly to subscribers. There is no text, and our research seems to confirm that there was never any text, only a printed wrapper. Some volumes which I have traced had a paper cover for the annual group of 24 plate, on which the years date had been written by hand on a pre-printed label. Also, the pieces are not numbered, which they would have been if cross-referenced to a printed description.

Each plates shows a number of delicately drawn pieces of jewelry - pins. clips, bracelets, necklaces, pendants, coms etc. These are printed in rich colours on a black ground, giving the impression of sparkling jewels lying on a black velvet cloth. One reason that they are so vivid is that the chromolithographs have been finished by hand; in some cases by the application of the sort of varnish ("gomme" in French) and in particular the application of a bright white pigment. representing sparkling diamonds or crystals These re-touchings are so thick they can be felt under the fingers runa across the page - and give the plates an extraordinary richness, tactile as well as visual.

Each colored plate is overlaid with a leaf of translucent paper on which is printed an outline image of the coloured pieces; this was to enable the workman to trace the design without having to damage or cut the original.

These jewellery pattern plates are extraordinarily scarce we have not been able to find any record of any volumes being offered at auction during the past 100 years. Nor have we found records in any library. Henri even refers to the journal in his work "French Jewlery in the 19th Century" when he notes that Lalique contributed a number of drawings in 1883, the first year of the publication was 1874 and it appears to have ended in 1914 perhaps because of the disruption of trade by the First World War.

These twelve years are bound as shown below in sturdy leather backed green cloth

In the year 1896 there are no coloured plates, only the tracing sheets tipped onto card leaves.

The chomolithographed plates were printed by the Paris firm of Lemercier until 1898/99 when the printing was taken over by Monrocq resulting in a slight loss of quality in the finish.

These last two years of LE BIJOU

(1898-1899) are bound with another volume of a jewellery joumal "Le Chronique de Bijou - Revue Bi-Mensuel" Pub Ch. DARRAS Oct 1897- Sept 1898 Nos 1-24 lacking the first few leaves of No 1 In this journal the text includes a description of the single shown on the main hors-text plate - a single item on a black ground - not in the same class as the plates of LE BIJOU

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.
