their bridal parties with something
gold. Why? They know that karat
gold is a token of enduring senti-
ment and quality. What's more,
gold jewelry is availabie in a
variety of styles to fit any budget.

When shopping, it’s wise to
choose a uift the bridal party can
wear at the wedding. If the
bridesmaids are wearing skin-bear-
ing necklines with a lingerie look,
perhaps a gold chain necklace is
“right.”

The usual herringbone chain is
now updated by a feminine bow
center-piece.

For evening glamour

Also, there are dainty links,
sometimes adorned with stations
of hearts, bows or semi-precious
stones. A new type of woven

chain is diamond cut and sparkles,

creating evening glamour.

If the wedding attire is ultra-
formul and elbow length gloves
are being worn, a beautiful gold
bracelet is the perfect gift. Simple
yet elegant, a gold bangle is etch-
ed with flowers and can be

engraved with initials or a
message.
Lacy link bracelets are often

accented with one dangling charm
— areminder of the wedding day.

As many brides opt for an
ensemble look — a short jacket
over a halter type dress — gold

pins can be an important addition.

Individual preferences

Don't forget to consider indi-
vidual personalities when shopping,
for gifts of gold. Ask yourself,
“Does she have short hair and
love earrings? Are rings her pas-
sion?’ These items are also avail-
able in gold in a multitude of
looks.

Feminine gold ruffles that softly
contour the face or gold beaded
drop earrings wilt look great at the
wedding and thereafter.

Stackable, thin gold rings can
complement an already existing
collection. In this case, look for
bands accented with semi-precious
stones or in varying colors of
gold.

Gold is also suitable for the
ushers. Consider a classic gold
collar or tic bar if the wedding
look is informal. To complement
the ascot of a morning suit, a
handsome gold tac in ribbed or
woven texture is appropriate.

To make the men in the wed-
ding party look and feel ‘‘dress-
ed,’’ a pair of real gold cufflinks
adds the finished touch. Tradi-
tional gold ovals or squares are
often textured to look modern.

involving the bridal party in the
wedding festivities from start to
finish is fun for everyone. What's
more, a special ‘‘thank vou’? per-
petuates the moment for a iong
time.
