Know The Terminology In Buying Fine Jewelry
BY HELEN C. CAMP
Extension Home Economist
Nothing makes a girl feel more
feminine than an exquisite piece
of fine jewelry. It’s an expression
of her taste that she can wear
with pride, a sentimental remind
er of a special someone, an im
portant fashion accessory, and an
investment that will never lose its
value. Watches, gold jewelry, and
birthstones are the favorite choi
ces for this gift-giving season.
If you’re a lucky one on the re
ceiving end, you should know
exactly what you have and how to
care for it. If you’re buying, it’s
wise to know a little termino
logy. But please, don’t be misled
by “incredible bargains"! Buy
only from a reputable jeweler.
A matter of time: Watches have
become important fashion acces
sories. Elegant or sporty, de
mure or a little zany, a watch
can be an expression of your
personality. The new “fun" wat
ches are great if it’s a “look*

THE CHRONICLE,
Clinton, S. C.,
Dec. 25, 1969—5-B
HEAD COUNT . . . "Just
born” doll heads are inspected
at the huge New York City
plant of the Ideal Toy Corp.
as the first step in the intricate
beautification project that leads
to the arms and hearts of little
girls on Christmas morning.
At peak of production, the com
pany turns out up to 15,000
dolls per day in addition to a
wide variety of toys and
games.
THE
CHRISTIAN CANDLE
The Christian candle,
symbolic of Christ, "The
Light Of The World”, origi
nated from sacred Roman
and Hebrew Customs.
Tapers of tallow from ani
mal fats later were candles
made of beeswax, as it be-
came more plentiful. In
many nations these were
held erect by metal holders
claiaQed , qnto the branches
of uf? ClWIIrtmas tree. Sanci-
fied they were believed to
radiate love and friendship,
to dispel hatered and dis
cord, just as our electrified
counterparts today.
Prayer For Peace
From The Moon
This is the Christmas
Prayer offered from lunar
orbit by Apollo 8 Commander
Frank Borman:
"Give us, O God, the vision
which can see Thy love in the
world in spite of human
failure.
"Give us the faith to trust
the goodness in spite of our
ignorance and weakness.
"Give us the knowledge that
we may continue to pray with
understanding hearts, and
show us what each one of us
can do to set forward the
coming of the day of universal
Peace. Amen."
FEWER TOY GUNS
Toys under the Christ
mas tree might be aimed a
little closer to peace on earth,
because, sales of realistic-
looking toy guns have
dropped rather sharply.
Children are still in
terested in the guns, how
ever, parents are not en
couraging their young ones
to "see how it works".
Interest has turned to
basic games and educa
tional toys.
them to keep good time or run
for very long. A good watch,
however, can last a lifetime and
will never be “out of it."
A quality watch has at least 17
working jewels. These jewels are
synthetic and worth only a few
cents, but they are vital to the
efficiency of your watch, as they
prevent metal-to-metal contact
of the delicate parts. No watch
without a jeweled lever is a
quality watch, no matter how
many other jewels it has.

No watch, except a specially
made skin-diver’s or astronaut’s
watch (which you’re not likely to
be buying), can be “proffed" a-
gainst watch, stock, dust, or mag
netism. Special coostructioos can
make a watch resistant to these
things, but never permanent or
absolutely.
Time-Saving Care: Even the
tiniest watch contains over 100
delicate parts. Take special care!
Do wind your watch at the same
time every day, even when you’re
not wearing it. (A self-winding
watch is exactly that. It winds it
self with your arm movements.)
Do keep it away from perfume
and powder. Wrap it up if you
put it in your purse or drawer.
Don’t place your watch near a
television set. It can be affected
by the electrical field.
Don’t try to fix it yourself.
Don’t shake or jar it or take off
the back.
Don’t expose it to extreme heat
and cold. (Watch that cooking
steam.)
Do give your new watch
a “breaking in” period for a few
weeks after you’ve first put it on.
on. Even if it seems okay, have
it checked by your jeweler.
Do have it completely cleaned
and checked at least every two
years.
The Midas Touch: Gold is
rightfully called “The King of
Metals*. Since caveman days,
gold has been worshipped and
hoarded. Entire civilizations
have been built with it, and de
stroyed by the greed for it. Once
our royalty was permitted to wear
it, but today the “most precious
metal on earth” is available in
some form to everyone.
Gold is measured in karats.
Twenty-four karat being pure
gold (and too soft for jewelry),
10K means that the gold in the
article is by weight 10/24thofthe
article. The rest of the weight
is made up by nickel, copper, or
silver. The most common weights
are 22K, 19K, 14K, and 10K.
Brushed, matte, and Florentine
are names for types of finishes.
Remember, “all that glitters is
not gold”. If it is karat gold,
it must be stamped as such.
Gold-filled or gold-plated
means a less precious metal
covered with layers of karat gold.
It’s the “next best thing’ to karat
gold and is less expensive. Elec
troplated gold is hardly gold
at all, but a metal flashed with
gold in thicknesses measured by
miUionths of an inch. If you see
an unmarked gold article, it’s
sure to be electroplated gold.
Keep your gold clean with a
prepared jewelry cleaner, or
wash it in warm soapy water,
rinse, and wipe dry with a soft
cloth.
