Show Royal Copper Jewelry. (Kansas 'City Times.) Copper is the latest of the common metals to become the object of the jeweler's work. It is the most fashionable fashion-able as well as the newest of the metals so employed, and all the smartest things In the way of sleeve links, card and cigarette cases, belt buckles, vases and the like, show it. It is highly ornamental, so used, and remarkably beautiful. It holds the same relation to silver and gold as do gun metal, which Is essentially steel, and kay kayserzln, which has block tin for its basis. It is made up in combination with silver, sil-ver, is reddish in hue, highly polished, and it costs just about the same as would a similar article of solid silver. It affords af-fords a relief from the sombre gun metal and the shiny silver, and some people peo-ple think it is prettier than either. Many of the new articles shown this fall are delightfully artistic. Sleeve links of the royal copper with silver rims and silver-imposed heads and the like were much admired. Silver vases with copper holders, and especially silver and copper card and smokers' cases are among those most in demand. The metal Is also used for flasks, brushes, whisks and toilet articles ar-ticles generally. It is scarce at present, but will become more plentiful as the makers are better equipped for turning it out. |
