Fashion Update: Eccentric jewels

LATE Arts and Crafts jewellery of the Twenties and Thirties is the subject of an outstanding display at the art dealers and jewellers Spink & Son, running in central London until Christmas.

The exhibition of antique and 20th-century jewellery concentrates on the wave of British Arts and Craft jewellers who stuck to their own slightly eccentric design path rather than follow developments in New York and Paris. They include Sybil Dunlop and Dorrie Nossiter, staunch individualists who worked with semi-

precious gems to create rich and flamboyant Oriental patterns, and Moshe Oved, who made a series of exquisite silver rings in the form of animals and birds.

All the pieces are for sale; prices start from pounds 500. The exhibition runs until 23 December at Spink & Son, 5 King Street, St James's, London SW1 (9.30am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday).
