9 Fall Innovations in Jewelry ??)v The coming season brings forth a host of pleasing designs

4 T

The coming season brings forth a host of pleasing designs in platinum and gold jewelry. Cameos of antique carving in large square mountings are something new for milady's little finger. The aquamarine comes forth in bar pins, rings and scarf pins as one of this Fall's most popular semi-precious stones. Mesh bags of novel design in both silver and gold are to be equally popular with the velvet and beaded styles. Pearls in opera lengths, will be worn extensively, with clasps in platinum and gold set with diamonds and sapphires. The newest in Fall wear for men are the soft cuff links in green gold, set with sapphires or brocaded with platinum. Waldemar chains in either fancy or square links knives for the chain end in clever and practical designs belts of cordovan or seal with buckles in sterling or gold will be worn by all well dressed men. Our lines are replete with the season's latest in jewelry. Jewelers, Silversmiths and Diamond Merchants
