BRACELETS AND BEADS
“I do not understand why the British woman has net taken to the tango bracelet,” a French dressmaker said to me the other day. “It is so very smart, and our women wear it even in the mornings, with jumper suits.” The old tradition that jewellery belongs to dressy occasions dies hard, but there is no doubt that it is gradually being broken down. Pearls are considered correct wear with any type of dress, and are put on by most women even when they are only going shopping. The tango bracelet is a very different proposition. For one thing, British women are not too fond of barbaric types of ornament, and there is no doubt that the tango bracelet inclines to the barbaric. It is of heavy gold links, each joined by a large “tablet” stone—not necessarily precious—and on a slender wrist it looks rather like a small dog collar. There is no doubt about its popularity on the Riviera. A friend who has just returned tells me that five out of every six women wear it there.
