Show Coronation Sets Jewelry Styles On Sunday, May 10th the Mothers Mo-thers of the nation will be queens for a day and this year the gifts they receive probably will be in the Queen's taste because of the influence which the forthcoming British Coronation has exerted on fashions. The Jewelry Industry Council tells us that current events have always had an important effect ef-fect on jewelry design, but that the effects of the Coronation are especially notable. For example if jou are looking for a pretty brooch to brighten Mother's Spring suit or dress,, you will find a variety of them in the shape of coaches, crowns, court jesters and a dozen other forms which are reminiscent of the crowning of queens. The fabulous collection of court jewels which will be the center of interest at the Coronation has inspired a number of interesting designs in earrings as well as pins. Designers have taken the orb, which is an important part of the ceremonial collection and used this beautiful sphere with its cross of jewels as a basis for some very flattering new jewelry. Even in the finest diamond jewelry, the Coronation influence is seen. The Prince of Wales feather, fea-ther, often worn by the Queen's Mother in the form of a clip, for example, has inspired some lovely new diamond pieces in plume and feather forms. The delicate , flower flow-er brooch which is one of Queen Elizabeth's favorite diamond pieces piec-es has also given rise to some outstanding out-standing flower brooch designs. |
