COPPER JEWELLERY

THE NEW NECKLACES

Ornaments seem to grow bigger, and the metal most in vogue at the moment is copper (states a London paper). Copper colouring is used for clasps and fastenings of all kinds. Where a clip is used to fasten a jersey, or a largo hook and eye, it is made in copper colouring or in this metal mixed with chromium steel. Larger bracelets than were dreamed of by the Victorians are now worn. In some cases they are more like the cuffs that finish off the sleeve. Some are as much as four or more inches wide, and they may be made of metal or of large flat beads. In any case, these must fit the wrist closely and complete the long straight sleeve. Here again copper is greatly in vogue, or copper mixed with some other metal. Necklaces are large.and metallic. There are many copper and silver or steel beads. These may bo flat, or big beads may be strung with intervals of smaller varieties. On black dresses for afternoons tho long bead chain has come in again mostly composed of small beads, spaced out with very big ones. These are invariably made in the steel colourings. Sometimes, looking-glass is used for beads, and these also give the silvery, steely look. Metal which is not precious preponderates in most of the new ornaments, and other colourings aro much less seen than usual.
