Footnotes

Frank Hyams, bijoutier, orfèvre et horloger originaire de Nouvelle-Zélande, établit des boutiques prestigieuses à la fois à Londres et à Dunedin au début du XXᵉ siècle. Réputé pour la finesse de son artisanat, il travaillait notamment le greenstone — une pierre verte caractéristique de Nouvelle-Zélande, variété de jade néphrite, étroitement liée à la culture maorie. Hyams créait non seulement des bijoux raffinés, mais aussi des objets de table, des candélabres en greenstone, des instruments d'écriture et d'autres pièces décoratives. Parmi sa clientèle figuraient des personnalités illustres, dont Leopold de Rothschild.

Hyams created not only fine jewellery, but also elegant tableware, greenstone candlesticks, writing instruments, and other decorative objects. His clientele included notable figures such as Leopold de Rothschild.
