them. One is sketched. Wooden
beads carry out the same ef-
feet, or necklaces in vivid colorS
and barbaric cutting, some
times massive, heavy effects.
Very large beads, striking color
combinations, and the use Of
much silver and aluminium are
other modern characteristics.
Sentimental Pieces

of gold usually, because gold
was the most precious metal in

scarcely tell the difference.
Then there are lockets, with
places for pictures, and there
are lovely miniatures, hanging
on slender chains, or worn as
a brooch. The art of minia-
ture painting is being revived
and many artists and photo
graphers are now busy painting
tiny likeneSSeS that will no
doubt be used for Christmas
gifts. There are many ear
rings used, and they are either

important thing about the new
jewelry is that it must be re-
