Jewelry enhances
summer wardrobe

AT VHE world’s most famous
resorts, from Madibu to St. Tropes
and Capri, what's the most: com-
mon element cevering the masyes
of sun-worshipping women? HH
your gugss is a string bikini, vou're
in fora surprise. The latest trend is
to wear a subtle accent of hurat
gold jewelry to the beach!

As women the world over are
taking it Off to weir only the most
qunimal amounts of clothing this
summer, real gold jewelry is the
one essential they choose to
enhance a glowing summer suntan,

Summer's fashions are more

“This is the veur that women
will bare all"? commented fashion
expert Naney Benson. “Most of
the swimsuits we're showing fit
like a@ second skin, have plunging
necklines and are cut all the way
up to the waist.”

To grace an open neckline, to
add glimmer and glow to the wrists
and ears, women can pick from
their personal collection of gold
jewelry basics to live in, day in and
day out, all summer long. There
are many new, interesting and in-
expensive stvles as well, to com-
plement the ease and simplicity of
the season.

For example, thin wire hoop
earrings, perhaps with a dangling
charm, or tiny gold star studs look
sexy with windblown hair and a
golden complexion. A fink bracelet
or necklace dotted with  pustel
semi-precious stones or several thin
gold bangles worn stacked are alla

down wardrobe and lifestyle.
