    I was just in the City Museum of Worms, Germany a few weeks ago & was
    surprised to see a sword with the typical Anglo-Saxon garnet slab &
    gold inlay work that I had always associated with the Sutton Hoo
    find. Does any one know how wide spread this technique was?  I am
    very familiar with jewelry from pre-12th Century Scandinavia & don't
    remember seeing the particular format used in that culture (the
    technique was used to set glass & other stones, but not the slabs of 
    garnet like in Sutton Hoo). Thanks, Jim
