Jewelry Goes Light, Soft Airy To Compliment Year

As somber winter slips away spring comes tripping in with a vacation mood. In clothing, elegance goes soft and airy and the bright touch more than ever, is the fashion jewelry a woman wears.

This year's spring jewelry comes on the scene with the perkiness of the first robin. Whimsical pins, harbingers of all the fun to follow, take their place up front in charming animal motifs.

All pins are popular though. Flowers, ever fashionable, find themselves in gold and silver and enamel daisies with sunny centers speak cheerily of spring.

The vacation mood is even more evident in sea life themes as delightful fish figures surface to the fashion world. New emphasis on colorful coral carries out the seashore mood, combined with gold, and by the long spring-swinging chains and pendants in heirloom and antique designs.

Silver jewelry has zoomed into popularity for daytime wear and is so delicate it adds elegance to evening wear as well. Always a major factor to the "fine look golden jewelry is lighter and airier for a season of sunshine.

Compatible with feminine fashion is the bulkier more colorful jewelry. Stones and beads of glorious color drape the season in splendor with long necklaces many multistranded.

Earrings swing into spring in dramatic lengths and drop earrings this year make the Mod scene. Huge rings, many adjustable feature one large stone, and lots and lots of bracelets including the ever popular bangle, complete the fashion picture.

Jewelry reminiscent of other lands brings home the vacation mood.
