"Here Is a new one the women seem to be working a good deal lately," remarked re-marked a local Jeweler the other day. "They bring in all the old rings, stickpins stick-pins and other Junk of that sort that they have received since they were kids from their various sweethearts, and have the gold melted up into one ring. "Some of them have this set with a small stone of some kind, and others Just have them plain. Of course a married woman does not like to weai a ring that has been given to her by one of her earlier sweethearts, and lots of them have rings of that sort lying about in their Jewelry cases. By having them all melted up Into a composite souvenler the rings all lose their identity, and the husband can have no reason for even a tinge of Jealousy. In fact, one woman came In recently and had all the rings she had collected from her old sweethearts melted up and made into a ring to give to her husband for his birthday present. "Now whenever I sell a lady's ring to a young chap I wonder where it will finally end up. But if every young fellow stopped to think of such a contingency I am afraid there would be considerable falling off in the Jewelry Jewel-ry business." |
