FASHIONS IN JEWELS.
White Coral Chains Quite the Proper
Thing-Automobile Design in
Diamonds,

White coral is a new fad for long
chains, and SO are the brooch branches of
the same coral in unusually large sizes.
They are extremely pretty, worn with
black gowns. and equally SO when they
will be worn with any of the summer
frocks in bright colors. As white coral
is less common than red, it promises to
be taken up for that very raeson. The
Chains sell for SO, while the brooches
may be bought for SIS.
An uptown jeweler has some exquisite
earrings. just sent to him from France.
They are called Louis Seize. and are
round. in the shape of an open loop,
formed of diamonds only, the design a
wreath of flowers and leaves. This is
the latest and most exclusive notion on
the subject of earrings.
Mrs. Cecil Baring-once Mrs. Taller
possesses, and sometimes wears, a pair of
long gold earrings, in delicate filigrce
work, sprinkled with pinkish garnets.
Another fashionable woman has a long
pair of earrings, nearly touching her
shoulders, of green JADE and gold She
also has a pair of crystal earrings, long
crystal drops hanging from a ball Of
crystal Set in a threadiike setting of fine
gold.
An automobile in diamonds makes a
very pretty brooch. The same idea is
used for a mans scarfpin, the model be-
ing in this case still more tiny and
dainty.
Enamels are playing a great part in all
the prettiest new things. These are little
brooches, one of which had diamond
Shcat upon a ruby ground, while the date
of the year in diamonds was set in a
circle OF emerald enamel trimmed with
pearls. The mixtures of pale enamels
and pearls is especially pleasing.
Delhi durbar ornaments are made IN of
lndian-cut Burmah rubies and diamonds,
and of Indian-cut emeralds and diG-
monds, In design there is variety, but
no novelty. What will probably prove TO
be craze is peridot, a stone of deli
cate deep yellowish green, which looks
remarkably well mounted with diamonds.
II Is found in the Levant, South Africa,
Brazil, Mexico and Arizona, as well as
other countries.
Fine neck chains of platinum are still
THE right thing" and these are sold
with artistic pendants in diamonds. or
diamonds mixed with rubies or emeraIdS.
\ square emerald is a fancy of the mo-
ment; a splendid one was set in a pend
ant with a fringe of diamonds falling
from it; and another, iii Il ring. which
cost the prOhibitiYe price of $4,000
a lovely enamel pendant on a fine gold
chain represents a water lily and leaf
depending from a lowering dragon fly, set
with pearls.
4 little novelty which would entrance
any woman is a raised basket brooch or
pendant made of gold. but filled with
flowers, turquoise, fOrget-me-nots. and
ruby pimpernels with berries in pearls.
Something quite new to be seen in the
way Of diamond bow is made lightly,
like lace, with natural folds, and quite n
blaze of light while the butterflies with
outspread wings are just Il mass Of dia-
monds without a glimpse of gold, and he
body is made of one single gIittcring
stone.
In a fascinating little "violct" brooch
the petals are cleverly cut out of a whole
diamond or ruby. Even the ordinary
crescent is differentiated and made
brighter, being twisted by snake with
ruby coils.
Simplicity iself, but splendid is 4 slcn-
der chain of platinum which fastens in
front with three glorious diamond drops.
OF Il different genre was q lovely little
diamond and platinum chain. with dia-
mond ends. finished with single brilliant
drops Of Il pink topaz and a clear AQUA
marine.
Among new designs in bracelets and
bangles is a half-ioop bangle Of opal
clusters set in diamonds The same nat
tern is in emeTalds and diamonds. and n
pretty curb is mounted with small gradu-
ated medalliOns Of red and green enamel
studded with diamonds and trimmed with
white enamel. The flexible chain brace
lets set with gems are still great favor
