Large Stones the Rags.

Rings are enjoying wonderful popularity. Not the small, modest kind, but rings with stones or settings as big as buttons. The largest stones are turquoise, or scarabs, flecked with brown. It Is highly probable that such stones are counterfeit, but they are handsome, and fit in well with ideas of the momeht, which call for effeets that are antique and barbaric. Tiny gems and settings may be very refined, but they are not conspicuous enough to be modish. Really, the more heavy a stone or setting, the more stunning it is now considered.
