Literature: Laszlo Puzar is referenced in 'The Europeans', National Gallery of Australia, featuring 'Emigre artists in Australia 1930 - 1960', edited by Roger Butler. Margaret vine herself wrote the chapter 'Jewellers and jewellery', p191. Margaret vine reveals in 'The Europeans' in the chapter she wrote titled, 'Jewellers and jewellery: European trained, made in Australia' that Laszlo Puzlar was instrumental in the design and making of the 'Andamooka opal' (203cts) brooch, gifted to Queen Elizabeth on her visit to Australia in 1954 by the Commonwealth Government. Puzar had to promise in writing that he would not take any credit for doing so.

  • Sterling Silver - Sterling silver is a mixture of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% of another metal, usually copper. Fine silver is 99.9% pure silver, and is relatively soft and the addition of the very small amount of copper gives the metal enough strength and hardness to be worked into jewellery, decorative and household objects.
  • Circa - A Latin term meaning 'about', often used in the antique trade to give an approximate date for the piece, usually considered to be five years on either side of the circa year. Thus, circa 1900 means the piece was made about 1900, probably between 1895 and 1905. The expression is sometimes abbreviated to c.1900.
