A World Of Style The Costume-Jewelry Look Takes Over Precious Gems - Which One Is The Phoney?
Natalie Gittelsoa
FOR GOOD OR FOR ILL, the determining difference today between costume (i.e., fake) jewelry and the real McCoy lies in the little — or large— matter of prices. It isn’t only because copies of genuine pearls and platinum, diamonds and emeralds are now so perfectly lorged that it takes a long-time expert to tell which clip costs $30 and which clip costs $3,000. (although this is often literally true). The big news in jewelry —particularly for anyone with a sly sense of humor—is that the baroque, showy, larger-than-life art of the costume piece now actually dictates fashion direction to designers in precious stones and precious metal! GONE ARE DAYS when the discreet little gold pin paved with diamonds spelled out "real” to those in the know, and the huge, bulky, dimensional, many-colored brooch meant “fake." In summer, 1964, the discreet tittle gold pin is just plain dead as a doornail, except among the fashion leaders of the high-school set. And when It comes to serious jewelling, ladies of style-and-shekels from all over are on a the-big-ger-the-better kick. NO DOUBT fashion's sudden quietude has provoked the new, loud jewels. Many important dress designers have gone so far as to acknowledge that all they're doing, nowadays, Is to dream up little frocks that exist
only as background for big bold jewels. The frocks themselves are as essentially conservative and played-down as jthe jewel designs are offbeat ] and played-up. One of the most chic jewelers in the country owms up to a best-seller bracelet made of a two-headed pink enamel snake studded with emeralds, and a black-and-white enamel zebra clasp with a diamond mane and two diamond ears. Ten years ago or so, you only saw that kind of stuff in the local five-and-dime. It would have been unthinkably corny for a well-dressed, sophisticated woman to go animal crackers in the precious gern department. CHANEL, whose costumejewelry craze has been with us for nigh into forty years, is no little bit responsible for the look she made famous spilling over into the world of bluewhite diamonds. Another internationally famous jewelry shop has a hugh, Chanel-like medallion set with stones in all colors of the rainbow and suspended from a long, narow gold chain. If it isn't your husband who writes out the check, you’ll never believe it's the real thing when you see it. “Who would go so far?" you’ll ask yourself —with quite sound common sense. The lucky jeweler might answer, “Nearly everybody with cash enough to cover the pur-
chase."
BUT THE HAPPY MORAL of this tale for little old moder-ate-income me and you is this: We can buy a clean-lined, uncluttered silk sheath dress for summer—unsleeved and cool as can be. We can slather on this modest little dress the self-ex-pression of boldly proportioned, uninhibited, chunky jewelry, long pendant earrings; fake pearl checkers with big, important clasps—secure in the

A college should not be controversial, so the popular belief goes, said Johnson, but “neutrality leads to moral bankruptcy,” reducing the Institution to “a bland nothingness that attempts to be all things to all people.” Johnson labeled as “an absurdity” the myth that the American public “is breaking its back to support higher education.” A few donors and foundations, be agreed, are contributing significantly, but “we are not spending proportionately as much as we are telling certain underdeveloped countries they should spend (on high education).

Union Told To Obey U.S. Order ’ WASHINGTON UPI — A rail union leader today called on his members to obey a federal court order banning wildcat strikes over terms of an arbitration award. H.E. Gilbert, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen BLFE, also urged railroads
to refrain from taking job-cut-ting steps that the union is challenging before the arbitration board. Gilbert said some carriers were taking steps that would disrupt seniority systems and force some firemen to move long distances to retain jobs. This is creating an "explosive” situation, he said. "I know emotions are running high but this is a court order and it must be obeyed,” Gilbert said. Railroad spokesmen warned that workers who refused to show up for work without a lawful excuse may be fired if the work stoppages continued.
