JEWELLERY NOTIONS.
One does not associate anything so sophisticated as new jewellery fashions with the Countrywomen of the 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 are reported to be asking for ear-rings similar in style to those worn by the Scandinavian women.
Triangles of gold suspended from a slender chain, filigree work as fine as a cobweb filling the centre and holding tiny precious stones, aquamarines and topaz, make up these most attractive ear-rings. Large crystal drops, held in golden claws, are another pleasant earring 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 waiatbelt is made of thick gold links, plainly wrought like the links of a dog's chain. Necklaces of gold chain hsung with graded golden coins are yet another traditional fashion borrowedxfor modern modes.
