Inspired Jewellery
Country women Delegates Responsible For New Modes f)NE does not associate anything so sophisticated as new jewellery fashions with the Countrywomen of the World delegates. It appears, however, that they brought some ideas to London which have interested our jewellery experts, says a London exchange. These were expressed chiefly in the heirloom pieces worn with national costumes. English womeji are reported to be asking for earrings 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 earrings.
Large crystal drops, held in golden claws, are another peasant 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 waistbelt is made of thick gold links, plainly wrought like the links in a dog's chain. Necklaces of gold chain hung with graded golden coins are yet another traditional fashion borrowed for modern modes.
