SILK BRAID BELTS WITH SILVER CLOISONNE CLASPS
DESIGNED AND EXECUTED BY HANS OFNER

The illus-
tration at the
bottom of
this page
shows a
variety of or-
n a m e n t s
very felicit-
ous in de-
sign. The
necklaces
are of silver,
enamelled
in shades of
blue and
violet; the
broader one
is set with
topazes.
The enamelling is beauti-
fully done, and is the work
of the artist himself, who
shows a real knowledge of
this art, and at the same
time a love for it born of
intimacy. The bracelet is
set with amethysts, the
scarf pins with pearls and
rubies, while the tortoise-
shell side combs are
mounted in silver set with
chrysolites. These make
a very pleasing harmony
of colours, and the effect of
the whole is very graceful.

evidence
that the
path he has
chosen is the
right one.

schools, and the belts
here reproduced are
entirely his own making.
The clasps are of silver
cloisonne, while the belts
themselves are formed of
plaited French silk braids,
these being of a shade to
tone with the decoration
of the clasps.
