NEW SETTING FOR JEWELS
Invisible settings are being used for much of the new jewellery, comments a London writer. Large flowers in two-colour designs are formed of precious stones set so that the leaves and petals look as though they were carved out of a solid block of blue or green crystal. Pale sapphires and aquamarines are attractive shaped like tiny blue gentians or anemones in a cluster funning a brooch. Some jewellers choose exceptionally large settings, making them almost part of the design. Beautil'ully-shaped crescents and curves are composed of diamonds set in large claws uf plati- , uum or gold.
