Jewellery Notions
One docs not associate anything so sophisticated as new jewellery fashions with the Countrywomen of tho World delegates (states an exchange). It appears, however, that they brought some ideas to London which have interested jewellery experts. These were expressed chiefly in the heirloom pieces worn with national costumes. English women aro reported to be asking for ear-rings similar in style to those worn by tho Scandinavian women.
Triangles of gold suspended from a slondcr chain, filigroo work as fine as a cobw-eb filling the centro and holding tiny precious stones, aquamarines and topaz, make up these most attractivo oar-rings. Large crystal drops, held in golden claws, are another pleasant carring design. Belts, too, are interesting. These are made of alternate quarter-inch square plaques of gold and silver, beautifully engraved in traditional designs. Another type of waistbelt is made of thick gold links, plainly wrought like the links of a dog’s chain. Necklaces of gold chain hung with graded golden coins are yet another traditional fashion borrowed >for modern modes.
