The new Spring-Summer Fashloi look shows 125 other styles, 25c extra White Summer Jewelry BY EDNA MILES I N costume jewelry for summer, the right fashion look is white. But it’s white with a difference. The plain and unadorned white jewelry of a few seasons back is gone. Coro, for instance, gives white a touch of crystal, a golden gleam, a rim of rhinestones, then uses a texture theme throughout an entire summer collection. White melons may be joined by golden stems or white beads may be caged in golden spirals. You may wear a bib of white strung on gold or find that shiny enamel spheres are circled with rhinestones. Crystal is used to accent white enamel chokers and pendant neck laces. In polka dot beads, white is mixed with color for crisp contrast. Or, again, mounds of white sweetberry beads are mounted on golden leaves to carry out the frosty theme and a floral motif. Often, smooth and textured beads are used together in an alternating pattern. In masses, they make chunky bibs. Bracelets are worn twining round and round or are the rigid type with handsome floral center. A corsage of sweetberry pins can go on a suit or coat lapel, a trio of chokers at the neckline of your Gibson Girl dress. Or, fill in a low, scoop nockline with a chunky bib. What ever the jewelry, just make sure that the color is white. A. R. P. Congregations Honor Dr. And Mrs. Paul L.
