said;
THE statement that I or my men

Quite elaborate are the diamond and
precious stone rings, which for want
Of q better name, the jewellers call
"dinner rings" Very frequently these
represent small fortunes, for dia-
monds enter largely into their make
up and they are seldom small in size
CALDER cut stones are new-tiny
gems, quantity cut and set in platin-
UNI, so that they show of more than
ever, revealing new lights and bril-

bination Of diamonds, emeralds, and
rubies, set in a curious and intricate
design which extended up and down
the finger. and was at least an inch

Squares in diamonds, small In size
and solidly set, with a cleaning gem
in the center-an emerald, ruby or
perhaps aqua marine-are another
fashionable conceit in rings.
And always popular and more so
than ever during the coronation year,
are combinations Of diamonds and
