Jewellery Worn By Pretty Americans.
A spray of grape leaves sown with seed pearls is a dainty pattern in lace pins. A pin much fancied by horse lovers among the fair sex consists of a bar formed of a whip stock of gold, having a silver horse-shoe at each end. The whole is topped by a jockey cap, with moonstone top, diamond peak, and gold rim. A South American mummy's eye, set in an eagle's claw of gold, is a scarf pin much admired by lovers of the bizarre. A miniature Indian arrow head of flint, bound to a gold shank by a silver cord, is an oddity in scarf pins. A perfect globe of highly-polished moonstone, • set within a cage of goW wire, is a peculiar pattern in scarf pins recently seen. A half-opened fan of gold, showing four folds set alternately with turquoises and diamonds, is a costly brooch.
