MODERN JEWELS
THE LATEST ADORNMENTS. LONDON, March 25. Has New Zealand heard about the newest ear-ornament ? The “jewel” departments of the stores flash with imitation stones, artistically designed and set. This earring is not of the screw type. A piece of silver or gold wire shaped like a query mark fits over the back of the ear and i.s unseen. The design widens out to come forward on to the cheek in some kind of becoming spreading floral curve. The ear is still, for the most part, a hidden feature, though all up-to-date people will be showing both tears if they adopt the coming “uplift” hairdressing styles. In any ease, the lobe of the ear will be covered by the newest ornaments, which are attracting great attention. They should he quite comfortable to wear and decidedly more secure than the sfrow-on variety.
The same department flashes and scintillates with imposing neck chains, as important as the mayoral mark oi office. They are made of chromium plate, each piece the size of a flat glove-bottom, strung together without space. Each alternative silver disc has a centrepiece of coloured imitation jewel—emerald or ruby, or topaz, or diamond. The chains on which all colours are used quite scintillate with a, harlequin effect. These chains make quite handsome dress ornaments, and they will be highly effective in a hallroom or o.i the stage.
Much of tlio modern imitation jewellery i.s almost barbaric in thickness, particularly in the case of bracelets and rings. Colour schemes and colour unions are important and ornaments of imitation jade are heavily carved. No rings ever worn on the stage by king or archbishop were thicker and deepi-r, or flashed more fire from their inset gems than the golden rings now ready for the smart populace. The stone chosen should match the varnish on tile linger nails.
Flat, jewelled sprays for the hair ami coming in. these being neat and graceful and attached to a very small hair comb. For these, pearls or diamonds will he the most frequent choice.
