UPI Women's Editor
New York -HOT- The jewel
ry industry no longer can
exist on the carriage trade,
says a Jeweler who's found a
gold mine in creating the un
usual, '
"How often is a Jeweler
going to sell a $50,000 dia
mond bracelet?" asked Ed
ward Merrin. "Or a $75,000
pearl necklace? It's nice to get
those big orders, and we do,
but these days industry has to
aim for the smaller ones too."
One of the smaller ones
came the other day by phone
from Mrs. John F. Kennedy,
he said. The First Lady, on a
visit to New York, called to
order two 18-karah gold rep
licas of Indian arrowheads
made into brooches. The ar
rowheads - one about one
order two 18-karat gold rep-
and one-quarter inch long, the
other a fraction larger - will
cost the First Lady $156.50.
Has Artifacts
Reproduction' of arrow-
hcads in jewelry resulted
from Merrin's interest in
archaeology - he has a collec
tion of American artifacts
from pre - Columbian days.
Many of them have been
given a jeweled mounting;
some tiny objots d'art, turned
into costly chess pieces.
Merrin's firm designs and
manufactures the more pro
saic jewelry too, the customer
can buy that $50,000 brace
let. And Roberta Peters, the
coloratura at the Metropoli
tan Opera company, had him
design her a diamond and
pearl tiara which cost $11,
000. Merrin promptly made
up a group of tiaras to meet
the demand - most of the
tiaras around are heirlooms,''
he said.
But it is the off-beat jewel
ry which attracts such custo
mers at Tallulah Bankhead,
Frank Sinatra, Salvador Dali,
George Burns, Theodore Bi
kel - and Mrs. Kennedy.
It all began, Merrin recall
ed in an interview, with a
gimmick he dreamed up near
ly 10 years ago - a gold tooth
pick. "It has sold like hot-
cakes." he said, "1 d guess
that 50 to 75 per cent of our
U.S. Senators own one. Tem
ple university has one in its
dental museum."
Collar Stays
From the toothpick, the
jeweler went on to gold col
lar stays, sewing set including
gold thimble and needle, gold
tipped rabbit's foot, fish
hooks, bookmarks, golf ball
markers, initialed coat hang
ers, stapler covers, can open
ers, "his" and- "her" key
chains, which when fitted to
gether bear the legend, "sans
vous je mourrai" (without
you, I would die), a jewel-tipped
magnifier for easier read
ing of stock market quota
tions in newspapers, diaper
pins, safety pins, cigar
piercer, and swizzle stick.
He also created a gold nail
file, thumb tack, chemin de
fcr chips made into cuff links,
a sterling silver gardeners set
in miniature - rake, hoe and
spade, and a gold stocking
stay for milady's girdle.
The last was originated he
said because one woman cus
tomer was allergic to base
metals.
We get a lot of older men
ordering sets of four of
those," laughed Merrin. "It's
always a gift for a niece, so
they tell us anyway."
Father President
Merrin, 34, father of three,
is designer and treasurer of
the firm which his father.
Joseph, founded in 1927, His
father is president.
Most of the younger Mer
rin's ideas come "in the mid
dle of the night," he said.
Some are keyed to a news
event. When Adlai Stevenson
was running for president, he
produced for the Democratic
National committee a minia
ture gold shoe with a diamond
set in the sole - where the
hole had been in the famous
photograph of a presidential
candidate in need of either a
shoemaker or new footwear.
After Col. John Glenn, Jr.'s
three orbital space flight, he
produced miniature nose
cones for charm bracelets,
key rings and cuff links.
He once designed a work
ing crane In gold which em
ployees of a Pottstown, Pa.,
construction firm wanted to
present to their boss.
Dog Collar
He did a platinum, dia
mond-studded dog collar for a
prominent New York hat de
signer's pooch. One love
stricken swain ordered a solid
gold heart - shaped paper
weight for a Valentine's day
gift. Merrin said the thing
must have weighed three
pounds.
Merrin has been asked from
time to time to produce In
precious metals miniatures of
pets, yachts and houses. A
gold desk set one woman or
dered cost her $10,000.
"Why," I asked Merrin, "do
people spend such fantastic
sums on the unusual? If I had
$10,000 to spend on jewelry,
believe you me I'd put it Into
something more traditional,
like a diamond brooch."
Merrin answered, "That
woman who ordered the desk
set already owns all the
classic jewelry she wants. A
lot of people are looking for
something out of the ordinary."

Grocers Approve
Of Lone Shoppers
New York - (UPD - Two's
company but the lone shop
per buys more, whether the
loner is male or female, says
a supermarket trade publica
tion. "The average American
housewife takes her husband
with her one out of two times
that she markets, said Pro
gressive Grocer. She markets
three times weekly, spends 27
minutes to buy 21 items for
a total of $7.74.
"The husband braves it
alone one time In seven," ad
ded the magazine. "The super
market prefers the lone hus
band since he generally lacks
the will to stick to the aver
age 13.7 items his wife lists
and spends 15 per cent more
than she would have."
Supermarkets also like to
see a housewife shop without
her children, the report said.
She takes 15 minute? longer,
and spends more. She also
saves the store the expense
of replacing equipment and
merchandise damaged by
youngsters. Moppet mayhem
costs a store $3,700 a year,
the report added.
Cheddar Cheese,
American Similar
In ' the United States.
Cheddar is commonly known
as American cheese, or Amer
ican Cheddar cheese. Cheese
similar to Cheddar but made
by a slightly different pro
cess is known as American
type cheese.
Cheddar cheese gets its
name from the village of
Cheddar in Somersetshire,
England where it was first
made. Cheddar is a hard
cheese, ranging in color from
nearly white to yellow. Usu
ally it is made from sweet,
whole cow's milk. If it is
made from partly skimmed
or skim milk, it must say so
on the label.
