Coat buttons, in eight sections, called au Firmament,  blue ground dotted with white stones.

Rings surrounded with brilliants: the middle filled with stones of diverse colors.

Women's Buckles, with stones, long square, composed of broken stones, without overlapping; sewn on the shoe, they take the form of the ankle, without hurting it.
