Page 2A—MIRROR-HERALX)—Thursday, May 11, 1978 At DAR Meeting ^fiich Heritage Of 'Jewelry Discussed ‘ subject of wide In- ~-tBrest, "Rich Heritage ot American Antique Jewelry" was discussed by vJfrs. Ray N. Anderson of '"‘^therfordton at the May Ibeetlng of Col. Frederick ti^mbrlght Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The members had been Invited to bring any ar ticles of this nature to add to the collections the speaker brought. The articles were fascinating, some pieces dating back to the early 1800's. Mrs. Anderson In troduced her discussion with the comment, "period jewelry Is probably one of the most Interesting sub jects that people talk about.” Fashions in jewelry follow cycles. What was considered hideous In one period may become quaint and desirable In anqther. Three main periods were .is’f discussed, Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian, embracing practically two centuries from 1714-1910. The custom of wearing precious stones and metals for personal adomiiient has been established for many generations, but the settings and designing ofi jewelry familiar to the I modem eye has been in-' ^fluenced by science and ttie opening of new mines and markets.

Musical Program Highlights Ladies Night Georgian Period weas an age when precious gems were considered more Important than the metal in which they were set. The prosperous middle class wanted to be In fashion by wearing elaborate pieces of glass beads, rhine stones, and cut buckles. The Opal enjoyed wide reputation in the Victorian era, due to the opening of mines in Australia. The diamond, then as now, was widely used and generally the most appreciated of all stones. Their elegance was shown by the wearing of necklaces, bracelets, and tiaras which appeared at all festive occasions. From the Edwardian days to the present, jewel trends have been closely allied to the styles In dress designs. The delicate fabrics have Influenced the style of jewelry. Crystals, pearls and gold filigree were widely used. For daywear, plain silver buckles, ribbons, and hair combs were In high fashion. Except for two periods, a few years during the 40-s and again in the 90's, earrings have been constantly In vogue. During the Victorian era and the present time, ears were pierced. Grandmothers of several generations back would have been shocked to see a wedding ring of any metal other than gold and It should be plain — no stone at all. Until the white precious metal platinum was dis covered, gold was used exclusively. Lockets, cameos and pendants were favorites for personal gifts, especially between lovers. It was during this period that the fashion dolls called "Babies,” came into use. These were sent out from England and for a fee of rive shillings, gladly paid, a lady could examine the dolls and get ideas for her wardrobe for ths coming year. A musical program by Rev. Clyde Buckner, mlnleter of muclc of Foreat City Baptlat Church, highlighted the prognam of the 40th annual ladlea night banquet Tueiday of the Kinga Mountain Llone aub.
