H. Haseler \u0026amp; Co., specializing in gold and silver work, and jewellery. Five years later, Arthur Lasenby Liberty opened a shop on the corner of Regent Street in London which soon became the most fashionable place to shop in London. During the 1890s, Liberty formed relationships with many leading English designers and manufacturers including William Haseler. His pieces can be found in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, as well as many other museums throughout England.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe vesta case has it original jumpring and looks great on a pearl necklace, silver watch chain or standard chain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVesta Cases were small portable boxes used to carry vestas (short matches) and were carried by men and women alike. So called after the name of one of the early makers (which was taken from the goddess Vesta, a Roman deity of fire and the hearth), they came into use around the 1830s and were produced extensively between 1890 and 1920. Worn today vesta cases become unique lockets to hold memories and mementos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe vesta case measures 4cm x 3cm. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAll Vonk Jewellery is presented in a gift box and pouch with luxe ribbon.
