DREAMS OF CHRISTMAS ROMANCE COME TRUE, WHEN
HE "SURPRISES" her with an engagement diamond, hanging
from the tree but soon to ornament her hand. Shape of her
hand should be his guide in selecting a flattering. ring. The
round diamond,° shown here, is the most popular cut for
engagement diamonds, and looks well on any shape of hand.
Her Hand Is Guide
To Right Ring
.For the young man plan-
ning to "surprise" his girl
with an engagement dia-
mond this Christmas, it's ira-
portant to know diamonds —
but he also has' to know his
girl.
Does she insist on the best?
If she does, the choice might
be a small flawless diamond,
icy white.
But if she's a practical gal'
who balances quantity , with
quality, a larger diamond at
the same price is just as
beautiful, with a few natural
imperfections and perhaps a
tinge of color.
Does she prefer .the tai-
lored look? if so, she'll pre-
fer her diamond in a classic
four -prong setting, simple
and lovely.
If she likes frills and lace,
she'll like the "illusion"
mounting, where the blaze of
metal blends with the stone's
brilliance (and makes it look
larger) . She'll like other,
more ornate settings, too.
He's held her hand but
what kind of hand is it?
If she has slender tapered
fingers, she'll like the mar-
quise diamond, which looks
like a boat with points at
each end.
Does she have long fingers
— an artistic hand? The
pear-shaped diamond, wide
at Orie end and tapering to a
point, will . suit her.
A plump hand, or one with
short fingers, is slenderized
by the rectangular emeralcl-
cut diafnond.
_.A safe choice is the round
diamond, often called the
brilliant cut. This is right for
every hand, and in fact it is.
the nlost.,popular cut for en-
gagement rings.
What about price?
The qualities of a diamond
carat weight, cut, clarity
and color — determine the
price. A reputable jeweler is
a diamond expert, who will
be happy to explain grada-
tions in color and brilliance
of each stone.
Best buy for a given
amount of money is a soli-
taire, or single -stone ring.
For the. same money, a ring
set with side stones will
naturally have a somewhat
smaller center stone.
However, the side stones —
usually, small brilliants or
baguettes — add over-all
sparkle when the center
stone is small.
Diamonds Fit In
Santa's. Budget
Diamonds are for giving
especially at Christmas, the
most gift -giving time of all.
To put diamonds within
'every Santa's price range,
jewelry designers today are
combining diamonds
with other stones, in rings,
pins and earrings. This is
precious jewelry even though
it is modestly priced.
A convertible diamond pin
is both practical and fash-
ionable for her. Separated, a
convertible pin becomes two
pins one of diamonds for
evening wear and one of pol-
ished gold for daytime wear.
Victorian diamond jewelry
is ngws these day•- -...i bar -A... -
pins, stickpins,' antique rings..
In reproductions of antique
stickpins, a tiny diamond
sparkling in the center adds
the final touch.
