ton. The first has altered noticesbly
in shape and setting. A pure white
diamond, the only suitable gem, is I'M
derset in short claws so that the stone
hides the setting completely. Polished
gold is preferred to Roman gold. The
shank is oval and tapers from the
gem. There is neither enamel nor en-
craving on its surface, and inscriptions
are cut inside as the purchaser may
order. 1t is but an old fashion revived,
and one which will be liked. In the
last thirty years wedding-rings have
changed twice in styles, from the mar
row, double circlet, to the polished
oval, and lastly the plain, wide, fiat
band, which is now also preferable to
polished gold. A fourth style, and one
eminentiy in harmony with the pres
ent temper of romantic sentiment,
might well revive the ornament which
