Magpie Jewellery

Black and white jewellery is all the rage. In Paris very little other jewellery is worn than the onyx and pearl, and onyx and diamond ornaments. Jet, too, has come into its own again, such as a charming bangle composed of cut jet and finest Parisian paste. These bangles are worn above the elbow, they are about half an inch broad, with still broader ends, that do not quite meet. The contrast between the black lustrous jet and the white skin lends a wonderfully alluring effect to shapely arm.
