Precious jewelry designers have answered the strong ap peal to own the king of gems. By silhouetting a diamond or two against a textured design background, they make prec ious pieces in a wide range of prices. Both 14-karat and 18-karat gold are used, the latter being somewhat soft er. Shades of sun-yellow are most popular, but green-gold or pink-gold can lend a dra matic touch to Florentine fin ish and unusual surface treat ments. Pooling Finances What to give mother for Christmas can be solved by pooling family finances. A single fine piece of diamond jewelry can speak for all who love her. This eliminates in dividual gifts, a few of which are often returned for ex change anyway. What should the treasure be? A jeweler's stock can be extensive and confusing, so it is best to decide in advance what type of piece it should be. Perhaps this is the Christ mas for the diamond watch she has wanted. Many dia mond watches start well un der a hundred dollars. Some times the watchface is flank ed with tiny round diamonds or the wristband is dotted w i til diamonds.

A woman who has a flair for wearing pins imaginative ly will appreciate a classic gold leaf design with curling tendrils tipped with di i monds. Perhaps a contempo rary square fluted gold disk pin with a diamond perched on its rim would appeal to her. Floral motifs can be se lected with an eye toward a woman's favorite flower.
