NOW THE VANITY PENDANT

Latest Addition to the String of Those That Have Seemingly Become Indispensable. We have had coin pendants and watch pendants; now we have the vanity pendant. These are made double, the two swinging on a hinge to reveal beneath a clear bit of mirror. Those pendants are somewhat larger than the ordinary ones, and are found in all sorts of quaint shapes and unusual studdings. An oblong one, shaped like a blunted wedge, Is of greenish gold studded with bands of rhinestones and baroque pearls in a checkerboard design. Another has a fretwork of silver set with turquoise to form a bunch of for-get-me-nots in the center., A third is a square of dull gold, with oval sapphire in the center, surrounded by a line of brilliants and a smaller sapphire sunk in each of the four corners. From this hang drops of the sapphire, two oval stones in the middle and one stone on either end. An oval turquoise matrix, surrounded by a double row of seed pearls, Is a pretty and becoming vanity pendant for a blonde. The girl who has a handsome locket of quaint, design of a past generation may convert it into a vanity pendant by inserting a mirror in the picture space.
