Use of Black Ribbon.
Black ribbon jewelry Is the striking contribution to smartness made now by the designers of fashionable gewgaws. The ribbon chosen is of the watered or mbire kind, and In all cases Is allied to precious stones. A watch for the wrist is a fascinating trifle. The band Js composed of ribbon, and the watch Is mounted in platinum set with diamonds, the combination of black and white making a very striking ornament for the wrist. Such a wrist watch is not heavy to wear nor overwhelming in appearance; indeed, quite the reverse.
