As I have already mentioned, the traditional forms were preserved in
some localities which require to be mentioned here in order to finish
this account of this industry in Spain. An interesting and varied
collection of modern Spanish peasant jewellery exists at the South
Kensington Museum. Strange to say, although this collection was formed a
very few years ago, in 1870, it would be very difficult now to make
another; for owing to the means of communication having been of late
years so much improved in Spain, the peasantry are leaving off their
national costumes, and substituting in every detail modern fashions.
Among this peasant jewellery the silver gilt necklace and reliquaries of
Astorga, No. 1114-73, deserve special attention. These necklaces were
worn round the neck and part of the body. The neck ornaments of gold and
seed pearls made at Salamanca, those of silver gilt of Santiago; the
filigree work of Cordova in the Moorish style, and the long earrings of
Cataluña with precious stones, are interesting reminiscences of older
times.
