©fpSaiUj ®arßM Intricate Metalworking, Unusual Materials Draw Local Jewelry Shoppers BY RUTH BORLAND STAFF WRITER With a multitude of styles and price ranges, those interested in buying jewelry today are faced with no easy task. Potential customers have the price, the quality and the design to consider before they even begin to make a selection. Current styles focus on design and met alwork, rather than stones. “Stones aren’t popular,” said Joseph Berger, owner of Jewelry by Joseph Berger in University Mall. “We sell more beads andcrystalsthanstones.Charmsandcharm bracelets are also popular.” Trends in jewelry design center around innovation with different types of metal and unusual combinations of metal types. Don Johnson, owner of Creative Metalsmiths at 117 E. Franklin St., said he had sold pieces that combined Mokume, a Japanese metalworking technique, with Nielto, a Byzantine technique. Titanium and niabomium, elements used in the space shuttle, also are showing up in jewelry. Another current trend in jewelry is the Native-American style. “About half our stock is Native-Ameri can,” said Virginia Penley of Taxco Silver Co.at4loW.FranklinSt. “Westemcloth ing caused its comeback. It used to be a working-class thing—now it’s a style even rich people wear.” To meet the demand for silver Native- Americanjewelry, Walt Penley, the owner of Taxco Silver Cos., buys it directly from Native Americans or from a dead- pawn dealer. A dead-pawn dealer is a pawn broker who makes deals with Native Americans not to sell pawned jewelry as long as the owner is alive in order to benefit from its increased value when the owner dies. “The only silver jewelry that has any resale value is Indianjewelry,” Penley said He sells used Native-American jewelry at market price, which is often higher than its original price. “With Native-American stuff, it’s more like appraising a painting because you’re dealing with artwork, not precious jew Calvin and Hobbes wm A\ AT LEAST NO) '(EAW, BUT IT COUI.DME WELL, WTU THE TIME ( 50RY C*.

Other jewelers agree that the craft of jewelry-making is an art. “Technical skills can be taught to any body," said Philip Manire, owner of Manire’s Goldsmith in Carr Mill Mall. “Inspiration for design comes from your own being.” Many jewelers earn degrees from gemilogical institutes, which teach them the basics of metalworking and the proper way to appraise jewelry. Appraisal takes into consideration the designer’s time, the artistic expression of the piece and the quality and value of its materials. “We’re here to educate an educated population about gems and gemstones,” Manire said. “It’s a purchase not a lot of people know a lot about. People find out more about their car than they do about their engagement ring.” For the amateur jewelry buyer, a little research is the best way to make certain the purchase is fair. “If you know what you want, you can tell by the weight how much it’s worth,” Berger said. “Gotd is a commodityjust like anything else.” He advises consumers to weigh items they intend to buy. Other jewelers, such as Baum Jewelers at 106 W. Franklin St„ use microscopes or other instruments to allow consumers to learn about purchases. Manire said craftsmanship was another importantfactorthe consumer shouldleam about when buying jewelry. He draws a distinction between thejewelry that is mass produced in Hong Kong and the custom made jewelry in his store. “People are looking for something that is well-made, hut not mainstream,” hesaid. Above all, consumers must trust the jewelers they choose, Manire said. “You need to get to know your jeweler. None of them are here to rip anybody off.” If one does have a bad experience with a particular jeweler, there are plenty of others in Chapel Hill. Johnson said that since his opening 15 years ago, 20 jewelers had moved to the area. “It’s become a Mecca for contempo rary jewelry.” 25 Holy man 26 Early warning 27 "I- choose to run" 28 Bus. abbr. 29 Proofers mark 30 Clumsy craft 32 Balderdash 33 Knob for a ham 34 Fit to be tied 36 Wan 37 Inventor's cry? 40 Johnson 41 Abner 46 Polite reply 48 Stick together 50 Retention rights 51 Role taker 52 Beauty mark 53 Prod 54 Beginning 55 Turner of film lore 56 Seven year malady 57 Not often noted 58 Cicatrix 59 Wise (to) 62 Noah’s limit? | For Rent | ONE BEDROOM APARIMENT 1/2 mile from campus on Airport Rd Swimming pool and ten nis court Start Janua r y $350 per month Call 967-9815 Small TRAILER FOR RENT responsible single pre ferred.

This time the proof is provided by the Pauper Players, UNC’s musical theater company, whose performance ofLeonard Bernstein’s “West Side Story” starts today. In “Romeo and Juliet,” William Shakespeare wrote about two feuding fami- lies and the lov ers caught be tween them. First performed in 1596, “Romeo and Juliet” made a statement on the triviality of pride and division. Bernstein recognized the timeless na ture of Shakespeare’s theme and adapted the storyline of “Romeo and Juliet” to fit 1950s America. The result was “West Side Story, ” a musical-theaterperformance that substitutes two rival gangs of different eth nic backgrounds for the Montagues and Capulets of Shakespeare’s play. . As the Pauper Players perform “West N.C. Tree Grower Presents Christmas Tree to First Lady THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON—First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday accepted an 18 1/2-foot fir tree grown in North Carolina that will be displayed in the Blue Room of the White House during the holi day season. “Beautiful tree,” she said at the short ceremony outside the White House. The tree will be decorated with thousands of handcrafted ornaments from contributors around the nation, she said. The tree was presented to Clinton by N. C. tree grower Wayne Ayers of the Roan Valley Tree Farm. Ayers also presented the first family with a smaller tree, which will stand in the third-floor living quarters of the White House. Clinton said the family tree would be decorated with personal decorations. The tree made the final 100 yards of its journey from North Carolina to the steps of the White House in a horse-drawn wagon.

ARTS & FEATURES Side Story,” the theme of racial division is again clearly applicable to the times. ‘“West Side Story,’ with the racial and ethnic strife that goes on, fits very well with the similar issues and concerns that we have on our own campus," said Jonathan Gyurko, a sophomore and the play’s direc tor. There were concerns that an original twist would have to be added to “West Side Story,” an often-performed play. “There was an idea of casting the Jets white and the Sharks black instead of the Puerto Ricans as they are. But I prefer to do musical theater in a more traditional way. Often, there’ssuchapushtomakeitunique and make it different that you take away from the integrity of the show and the music,” Gyurko said. “About the issue of ethnic strife and racial tension, I think the show’s message and point is carried over to the audience effectively without having to sledgeham mer a moral to the audience by casting it white and black.” Instead of trying to differentiate the play by adding such a twist, the Pauper Players’ "West Side Story” Pauper Players Playmakers Theater Through Saturday CLASSIFIED Trawel/Vacations | SPRING BREAK BAHAMAS R<\RTY CRUISE $279! 6 DAYS!

The acting, dancing, singing and musi cal score all are essential ingredients in the performance, each relying on the others to support the theme of division. Essentially, the musical will offer a full sensory effect to convey a power struggle to the audience. Adding to the strength of the show is the large, movable set and the location of the performances, Playmakers Theatre. The set is composed of four rolling “buildings” that, when turned around, cre ate an interior setting. For the cast, han dling transition from an indoor scene to an outdoor scene is quite a remarkable feat. Another strength of the show might well be found in the cast’s ability to main Live Bands, Dancing & kCy Beer Specials " SuS/Oi 506 W.
