The Return of the Cameo.

Old-fashioned cameos are now in the hight of fashion, as is almost every kind of jewel that boasts of antiquity. Cameos are worn as ornaments and figure in belts and bands in the latest embroideries. Many of the old-fash-ioned brooches with huge jewels in the center, which we have abjured with a vengeance, are coming back to us, not to wear as a brooch, but in combination with leather, velvet or chiffon in the ornamentation of dress. Among the choicest new jewels are pendants of dull rough gold with imbedded jewels and pendants of natural pearls or bits of turquoise suspended by tiny gold links. The color combinations in many of these ornaments are rich and exquisite.
