The ' 'something new,"
almost always the wedding
gown, w ch would have
been left incomplete by a few

success in her new, wedded
state.
The "something
borrowed," frequently the
veil or a garter ( it was
considered lucky for an
unmarried friend to lend the
bride a garter, which would
be returned to its owner after
the wedttl,1: ) was included
so that the bride's friends
should continue to be of
assistance when called upon,
and the "something blue,"
usually ribbon or trimming
on the bride's undervvear,
was a symbol of loyalty.
The last thing the Vic-
torian bride would don when
preparing her wedding
toilette would be her gloves.
As she 4sliol so, she would turn
away from her mirror, as it
was considered inauspicious
for the bride to regard
herself in her mirror,
completely dressed in her
wedding garments, before
the ceremony.
Nor could the groom see
his bride in her wedding
dress, till they met at the
altar, lest there be no

How times have changed!
Today. as the groom takes
more interest in his wedding,
this old superstition has
given way to a more prac-
tical attitude. More and
more frequently, the groom
will accompany his wife -to -
be when she goes in search of
the wedding gown that will
express her personality and
her private fantasies, and
which is such an important
element of the ceremony
that will begin their life
together.

with anniversary ring
Diamonds, the traditional
symbol of everlasting love,
are received by most women
for the first time as a symbol
of their engagement. Several
years later, the gift of a dia-
mond band, known as a dia-
mond anniversary ring,
recaptures the romance
associated with one of the
most exciting times in a cou-
ple's life together. This dia-
mond gift celebrates years
of successful marriage. It
says, "We've made it," to
family and friends.
Women frequently receive
a diamond anniversary ring
from their husbands on a bir-
thday, anniversary or other
special occasion. When a
ian reaches a milestone in
nis career, the gift of a dia-
mond anniversary ring in-
cludes his wife in the
celebration of his profes-
sional accomplishments. In
a recent survey, one thou-
sand women surveyed said
that, when compared to
other luxury items, most
would prefer to receive
diamonds from their
husbands. The diamond an-
niversary ring's popularity
is growing because of their
desire for this traditional gift
of love. The many new styles
available as well as the af-
fordability of this precious
diamond gift are also factors
of its popularity.
The diamond anniversary
ring is a full circle or half
circle of diamonds that can
be worn either with the wed-
ding band and engagement
ring or on the woman's right
hand. For many years, the
number of stones in the dia-
mond anniversary ring cor-
responded to the number of
years the couple had been
married. Today, however,
the diamond anniversary
ring is becoming more of a
fashion item and a large
selection of contemporary
styles are available.
cle or half circle of diamonds
can be a single, double or tri-
ple row of stones. The shape
of the stones is usually
round; however, fancy
shapes, like the marquise,
pear, oval and emerald are
offering women the option of
matching the stones to their
engagement rings. Baguet-
tes, designed to compliment
a large stone, are being
featured as the stone shape
in newer diamond anniver-
sary rings. The range of
styles is extensive, limited
only by a woman's
preference.
Diamond anniversary
rings are well priced, even
when compared to most
other diamond gifts. The size
of the individual stones in a
diamond anniversary ring
can range from five points
on up. Many lovely bands
can be purchased with a
total weight of two carats,
one carat or less. The size of
the stones determines the
price of the piece. Because a
diamond of a carat (one hun-
dred points) or larger is only
one in a million, its rarity
makes it more expensive
than a number of smaller
stones equal to the same
weight. The diamond an-
niversary ring circles the
finger with diamonds and is
admired for its beauty as
well as enjoyed by many
because of its affordability.
There is a diamond anniver-
sary ring for the romantic in
all of us.
