The sMARRlkcE RING.
Brides OF tas Period Have Got yato TIN
Habit OF Selecting Their Own Gifts.


Are you making plans for we'd
ding? III YOU are. don't forget that
those of delicate taste no longer wear
the plain wedding ring of polished
gold. but have it jewel studded and of
yellow Guinea gold. They are no
longer the fashion," explained the
glib dealer in precious trifles to his
pleased but blushing victim. Look
here at this dozen; copies all Of rings
made TO order in the past few months.
Everyone of dull red gold. carved aud
studded with jewels; for diamonds,
rubies. emeralds and sapphires are as
freely used in the ornamentation OF
wedding as engagement rings. The
demand now is for bands of gold so
free from the hardening alloy that
they can be bent by the pressure Of a
stead of dashing in. Pumping down
the money. catching up the first poll
ished band that suits the measure
ments. and rushing out as though q
pesliIencc was after him, as used TO be
the way. l now give up few hours
out of each day to consultations over
wedding rings.
She usually comes with him. and
together they look over my stock. and
invariably select one Of the new rings.
These of Guinea gold, carved in high
relief and frightened by jewels, are
her choice. only she insists. with per-
vcrsity he thinks adorable, that she
will never wear a wedding ring at all
like any other woman's. and then /
propose to make one 10 order. Some
times she thinks out the design for It's
decoration. and sometimes my artists
are compelled To work out dozen diff
ferent patterns before she Is suited.
When the ring is made the design fs
either destroyed or given to the pur-
chaser. and only by special permission
eau copy it for exhibition in my
showcase. Often enough these capri
cious ladies invent charming patterns
for their rings. aud only the other day
/ sent home band. the design for
which its intended wearer conceived
and drew for our smiths. 1t was a
Guinea gold band. broad. and not
very heavy. on which were carved
cupids supporting garlands Of flowers.
Into the cups of the flowers were sunk
diamonds scarcely more than points OF
light. The effect was delightful. and
the cost was in keeping. for diamonds
like those l used must be exceedingly
brilliant. and. therefore. can not en-
ploy comparatively cheap chips. but
iiny stones cut in facets by the most
delicate aud experienced labor.
