Footnote
Note: Mary Thew was born in Glasgow and studied briefly at Glasgow School of Art. Following her husband’s early death, she took up jewellery making as a career, receiving some training from the Arts & crafts jeweller Rhoda Wager. Her jewellery is more often than not unmarked, however this rare necklace comes with its original box, bearing her mark.
