Yuletide popular time | for sealonengagement

Amid the toys, sweaters,ties and other packages on Santa's sleigh this year will be many smal! jewelry boxes containing |diamond engagement rings.

Christmas is a popular time ‘for young couples to announce engagements, and to seal their pledges of betrothal with dia- monds — the very symbol of love and devotion.

Whether the diamond enga- gement ring is a “surprise” or not depends entirely on the cou- Some girls like to be sur- prised but statistics show most couples prefer to shop to- gether for the ring, letting the girl make her own choice.

If the boy i# concerned about prices (and most are) he can go to the jeweler in advance to select several rings within his budget. When he returns with his fiancee, the jeweler will show only those rings selected earlier, and the girl can still make her own choice.

such | DETERMINING PRICE

How is the price of a dia- mond determined? It is based, on the Four C's — carat weight, cut, clarity, and color of the in- dividual stone.

No two diamonds are alike—

jthey are as different as finger-

prints. the same weight will vary in brilliance, color and. clarity, and will be priced accordingly.

Carat is the unt! of measure used in weighing diamonds. A carat is divided into 100 poi nts,

Even two diamonds of.

like the cents in a dollar bill. | If a diamond is 530 points (pop | ular size for engagement rings), it weighs half a carat.

Cut refers to the shape of the diamond and the arrangement of the facets, ‘‘the light ~— that catch the light and make the diamond sparkle.” The sha- pe of the diamond has little ef- fect on its price.

SHAPES VARIED

Most imperfections are so small that they cannot be seen by the naked eye.

Color of a diamond affects its price. The traditional bridal diamond is’ clear and colorless. The whiter a diamond is, the rarer it is and the more expen- sive.

Off-white diamonds are still beautiful and valuable.

Diamonds come in several shapes. Select the one most flattering to the hand. The round diamond, ‘often called a

brilliant, is used most often in engagement rings. marquise is pointed a

Surprise her with gift of fur

By all means, Santa, give her fur. This Christmas offera the | best opportunity in years.

| But please, Santa, don't sur- | prise her. Save the © surprises | for little gifts and ‘‘exchange- | ables.”’

Though gifts of fur now cost | considerably less,. they still re- | present a sizeable investment. Make sure the bucky lady will get the years of enjoyment she | deserves from a fine fur, by consulting her tastes first. | Simplest way is to tell her this Christmas. Then, take her along to select what she wants, within the range of the fur gifts budget.

One way the surprise element can be maintained is by asking her favorite furrier to provide a ‘suggested sketch of a fur fash- ion, along with a gift certificate. This can he placed-under the ltree for her. | Both the budget and her |present fur wardrobe enter in- to consideration, when deciding on her, fur gift.

For thrift and for fim, thére | are vests, cardigans and over- blouses in all sorts of furs, from luxurious mink to sports furs such as kit fox and squirrel.

Jackets, stoles and other fur wraps make popular gifts. And , the ultimate, of course,

As for mink, the selection im- cludes 58 natural colors of American-bred Embe pala.
