* SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1961 - : Trifari's, flowered pins and matching earrings 'were elegant and original, -- as pansies, zin- nias and leaves with a tiny bug just lighting on them. In early Egypt, men wore a bracelet in- laid with paste or precious stonés, an anklet, a necklace with a pendant figure of a god. or sacred animal, a ring, and beads in profu- sion of emeralds, pearls, rock crystal, etc. Egyptian women wore jewelled collar, jewelled belt, anklet, arm bands, earrings and many strands of beads, sometimes extending to the waist. Fall '61 is also a long-strand necklace period. With the simple untrimmed necklines, chains or even groups of chains, tasselled long- line necklaces are very much the jewellery news. See the photographed chunky tassel' necklace by Trifari, golden-flecked black beads: alternate with lightweight, grooved, golden beads. Earrings are elgngated. N Greece and Rome; the males were almost: as decorative as the women. At one period ' the men even wore hair ornaments. Desigrier Judith McCann of New York has come up with a novel idea -- three necklaces twisted and fastened together with their jewelled Shuvon clasp, to wear either as a coronet for: the hair or as a jewelled lei. (See photograph). Amber, blue and green are the colors here.' The necklaces can also be easily "unbraided" and worn singly. A wonderful idea for changing your jewellery color. : In the Middle Ages, earrings were seldom worn. The men couldn't wear them with their armor and the women wrapped. their heads in turban effects that hid their ears. Then came the Renaissance with its beautiful velvets and brocades. Elegant young men wore flat berets and one earring. Very dashing! By the end of the 17th century, men had given up wearing earrings. They continued to affect brooches in the form of a scarf pin. Rings, cuff links and watch chains constituted their retained interest in jewellery. Women took over the adornment field. Today's fashion for pearl earrings was due to a woman. The French consort of King Charles 1 inherited Catherine de Medici's pearls and wore them constantly. Pearls have always remained in fashion since then. Every woman's wardrobe contains, we're sure, a classic pearl necklace of one to three strands. Pearls, too, can be updated to current fashion. For example, the Imperial Pearl Syndicate showed the fashion press a new comet necklace, a double strand of cultured pearls with 2 luminous tassels of pearls. Tassels are very much in the news. This necklace could be draped to one side, float across the shoulders or 'streak over the bodice of the dress. ALL '61 is an important jewellery season, with emphasis on big, bold glittering pins worn dead-centre on the bodice; on the longer necklace, ending at the breastbone. These are often chains. As Coro says: There are chains and, more chains of every description, length and width. There are massive chains that are deceptively lighweight, perfect for sportswear, and there are fine delicate chain bibs that lend themselves to the new crepes, chiffons and -lightest of woollens for dressier moments. 'Bracelets are also popular. You wear them with earrings alone for the smartest look -- omit a necklace or pin. 'Mostly they are in textured metal. Shoe styles also come in cycles. There were the very pointed toes of the Renaissance, the squared sturdy shoes of the Pilgrims. For Fall-Winter '61, both these silhouettes appear.. 4 ONTARIO TODAY Tasselled necklace, Trifari. 'The National Shoe Institute of New York says the preoccupation with the pointed toe is out. There will still be pointed toes (although not the elongated needle point of last season) but two other shapes are very much in the fashion ~ picture too. _ For daytime, the square shape varies from «the merest suggestion of a squared-off toe to a bold blunted end that is an inch or more wide. The narrower squared toes still retain a medium-heel height, with luncheon or shopping jaunts in mind. The very flattened squares are for casual wear. The third important shape is the tapered toe, which, like the elegant black pump, has become a classic. This shape is especially popular for after-five life. OU will be glad to know that the shape and and height of the heel is now related to the over-all silhouette. You'll be able this season to find a sturdy heel of medium height, either straight or curved, from walking shoes to cocktail elegance. The Canadian shoe manufacturers agree with the shoe news: This year, Canadian foot- wear fashions will be paced by three toe shapes. The popular pointed toe will be joined by the new soft crescent and the square-toe shoes, reports Shoe Fashion Service of Leather In- dustries. Photographed are five toe shapes in supple Canadian leathers. Lower left--a broad-toe moc-: casin-flat in mocha smooth leather with brown brushed leather vamp insert, by Del Grande.
