BY Mrs.

The Distinguished Authority
on Household Efficiency.

One jeweler has patented a
heart-shaped ring set around with
tiny diamonds. The opening for
the finger is round, just as it is
in any ring, but the outer edge
is heart shaped The two lips"
of the heart provide ample space
for engraving her" name and
also his"
Restyling old pieces is some
thing of an aesthetic challenge,
but is a task all women enjoy.
Have the piece gone over by a
professional polish, used with
electro plating equipment an d
power brushes; or, if one can get
many small stones or little dia-
monds from old tie-pins, stick
pins, rings ETC. have them re-
combined in a single smart lapel
ornament other design
For example, the writer, some
years ago enjoyed restyling two
pieces both Of which held senti-
mental values: she took the
very heavy gold watch chain her
grandfather once wore, and the
agate brooch which was part of
the daily dressing of her Scotch
grandmother, and had them made
into a single long necklace, the
brooch being used as a pendant.
A strikingly handsome, modern
piece. but still with its back
rround OF sentiment.
Here's a clever trick not every
woman may know: and that is,
TO give your costume lapel orna-
ment. especially if ii has a plain
metal surface, a coat of clear
nail polish lacquer to protect it
and keep it from discoloration.
And clip out these explicit direc-
tons as to how to care for every
type of costume jewelry:
Gold-plated Jewelry: Rub light
ly with good silver polish or
treated cloth. But do not rub
off finish which may be thin.
Pearl Beads: Never wash, as
this affects initiation nacre
finish They can be best cleaned
when unstrung. Polish each bead
with chamois to remove oil and
dust, then Resting. Polish clasp
too. Real pearls must be handled
by jeweler.
Plastics: Sponge any plastic
with mild suds. Do not soak
rinse under running water and
never dip into hot water. Dry
quickly.
Enamel and Porcelain: Wipe
with damp, soapy cloth, then with
plain damp cloth. If combined
with gold and silver. use a little
silver polish on the metal.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-03-07

prong or bead is loose.
In older pieces, the diamonds
or similar precious stones were
held in place with prongs bent
over the jewels. In newer pieces,
little ball-shaped beads fooled in
the metal are pressed against the
diamonds. Bead settings don't
catch on stockings and fabrics
like the older prongs and claws,
but of course, any type of setting
may loosen with wear, and the
jeweler is the only one who can
make effective repairs.
If you have a valuable bracelet,
have a tiny thin guard-chain in
matching metal put on the clasp.
You won't see this guard when
you look at bracelets in the shop
because it would interfere with
case in trying on; but the sales
man will gladly see that such
guard is added. IL more brace
lets were so fitted, there would
be fewer owners bewailing losses
of valuables.
Another point TO keep in mind
is that the athletic girl and the
young woman active with her
arms may chip or crack their
gems by carelessly banging them
against metal tile, stone, or
cement. Even though the dia-
mond, for instance, is the hardest
of all minerals ii may chip if
struck forcibly against a bath
room faucet or tiled wall
If a gem is cracked or Clipped,
it may be wiser to have it re-cut
into a smaller size. Diamonds
are now cut in America, but such
repair work must be allowed a
generous time, far longer than
in normal times.
Although romance still flour
ishes. it is now more fashionable
to have less engraving on the
wedding ring than formerly. The
modern engagement ring has a
very narrow band or shank TO
support the diamond solitaire,
and there may not be space
enough for writing sentiments.

Brush lightly in mild soap suds,
rinse in clear tepid water, and
dip in alcohol or cleaning fluid
as previously described. Drain

To clean the large metal areas
on a piece OF jewelry. use a good
grade Of silver polish. Real
jewelry mounted in gold, red
gold (which is gold and copper,
or platinum, or in white gold
(Which is gold and silver, may
all be polished like table silver.
But if the piece is plated, then
don't rub too hard as you may
rub through the silver finish and
show up the yellow or dark alloy
metal underneath. Soap and
water should be used on hand
wrought or chased silver.
A valuable suggestion TO the
owner Of real jewels: don't tumble
them together in your box, be-
cause they scratch one another,
and may get bent or broken. Use
a box with trays and little cotton
pads, or make up small pads Of
cotton covered with velveteen.
just as the jeweler does, and
place the pieces on them.
Now for some other helpful
points: it is worth while TO fire.
quently test your gem in its set
ting, particularly a ring setting.
To do this, press top of stone
with match stick; if stone
moves ever so slightly. take it
at once to a jeweler. He will
examine the metal under his
magnifying glass, and tell which

if you give your jewels a quick
beauty treatment once a month
with one of the special prepare
tons you may purchase from
your jeweler. Use it with an eye
brow brush to loosen the dirt-or
dried soap. but never explore
around with a sharp pin as this
may loosen the tiny prongs or
beads that hold the gems in
place.
There are compressed powder
cleansers, too, which you may
get at your jewelers.. Buy
little kit Of such supplies and
save money by cleaning your
own.
A recent survey seems TO in
dictate that girls who have new
diamond engagement rings, wear
them all the time. dishes or no
dishes. But just ordinary wash
ings by hand won't suffice for a
real cleaning. it's not enough TO
keep the gem so clean that it
will catch the light from all sides,

FAKE care of your jewelry-

FAKE care of your jewelry-

y For jewelry, like so many
other articles of wear, has been
affected by war conditions. and
right now, your piece of jewelry
can be said to be precious" in
more senses than one: that is,
YOU won't find it easy to replace
it, quite aside from it's intrinsic
worth or appraised value.
SO get out your jewelry box
and the tissue-wrapped pieces
you have laid away SO carefully.
and look them over. Are any
of the gems loose in the ring?
Are the stones clipped or
cracked? Are the pieces in need
Of repolishing? Could any Of
them be restyled to become
smart modern ornaments TO wear
on your new Easter suit? Or,
if you are a Victory bride, are
you sure you know how TO care
for the engagement flasher
and wedding ring you wear 80

Mention OF engagement and
wedding rings offers a good text
for the care of diamonds. Shall
the newlywed take off her dia-

astonish these brides TO learn
that good jewelry~ of gold or
platinum set with diamonds (but
not with colored stones) may be

best jewellers do this TO clean
