"The fad for distinctive jewelry made of semi-precious stones with artistic silver settings in which nearly all the designs are different, with very few repetitions, is rapidly coming in vogue.One charming example of this is a necklace made of carved silver beads, with a square pendant set with an amethyst from which hangs five strands of the beads tipped with amethyst balls. Other chains are set with flashing green tourmalines that look very artistic against the dull, almost lead-colored, silver.There are also most artistic belt pins, square in shape, made of combinations of bright and dull silver, with a huge turquoise matrix in the center. These are often used to fasten the evening scarf, though a long clasp pin set with amethysts is perhaps even more effective for the purpose."
