Show Fashion Revives Long Pearl Necklaces and Gleaming Jet By CIIERIE NICHOLAS , S ' "k ' 7 i : ,4 I N- l : f ; , 1 ! w j - - - j TT MIGHT be aptly said that a woman is known by the jewelry she wears. Certain it is that jewelry jew-elry accents have a way of showing either refinement of taste, or a love of display. It all depends on whether wheth-er you belong to the spectacular costume-jewelry group or to the conservative one that holds on to the tradition of quiet elegance. To women who have an inherited inherit-ed intuitive sense of dignified glamour glam-our pearls are ever the answer to their jewelry preferences.. This season sea-son the style prestige of pearls has ascended to a new high. The big news that is adding to the lure of pearls is the return to favor of long ropes of pearls with matching match-ing bracelets and earrings in the manner of the ensemble shown above to the left in the illustration. The fact that in this instance pearls are worn with a black wool knit evening eve-ning sweater is also important news. Time was when jewelry worn with things knitted was taboo. Now it's the smart thing to do. Speaking of the new ropes of pearls, some are unbelievably long and worn in tiers reaching below the waistline. With a siren-slim black satin formal they are the "last word" in smart jewelry. Grandmother's pearl choker is also worn by her smart and style-conscious style-conscious granddaughter. Centered in the group illustrated above you see a modern girl wearing a three-strand three-strand matching bracelet and pearl earclips. The ring is a little gold bow with a diamond knot. What has been said of pearls may be said of jet. The revival of jet jewelry goes on record as a gesture of utmost style significance. Jet bead ensembles worn with winter white evening sweaters, as pictured above to the right in the illustration, have proved especially popular with college girls. ' Groups of clips (called "scatter clips") are being featured this season sea-son as an alternate with the single lapel piece. The idea is spreading like wildfire among those who like the new and the venturesome. Centered Cen-tered at the top in the group pictured above is a style-alert "modern" wearing adorable little bows of three different sizes, with bow earrings to match. They are usable also as companion com-panion clips for square . or "sweetheart" "sweet-heart" necklines. Flattering and highly decorative for a plain dark dress are groups of small clips like those worn by the young woman posing below to the left in the picture. These rhine-stone rhine-stone birds may also be fastened together in pairs to make a handsome hand-some brooch and there is all-purpose jewelry that can be taken apart to form different pins, clips and various vari-ous other items. The earrings belonging be-longing to this ensemble are also of bird designs. Bird, bow and butterfly butter-fly motifs are very much in the jewelry picture this year. Amusing themes are worked into jewelry that "makes conversation" because of its novelty for instance, the lapel pin worn by the young girl pictured below to the right. On her handknit tailored jacket, done in new stitch, she is wearing a lucite fish with fins of gold plate and rhinestones. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) |
