from her...

These pearls are no longer for adorning the neck and ears as they once were; they have gone beyond them to the wrist, to clothing, shoes, handbags, and hats. Wherever you lift your gaze, it falls upon pearls, in different

sizes and in strands of varying number. The very latest that fashion has reached is ten strands of graduated length, encircling the woman's neck from the top and ranged strand upon strand in a form of splendid beauty! Even schoolgirls flock to buy strands of

pearls of every kind, their faces flooded with delight!

And here, madam, are sample pictures showing you the various manners you may follow, if you are one of the devotees of pearls...

Two strands that wind around the neck and meet on the right shoulder, then descend to the cut of the décolleté and appear again in the form of a "tassel"!

And this bracelet, composed of several strands, with a large pearl on the finger and oblong earrings dangling from the ear!

As for this style of earring, made up of three tassels one after another, it is dainty and soft!

A valley shielded us from the scorching noonday's breath,
a valley watered by doubled, generous rains.
We alighted beneath its spreading boughs, and it bent over us
with the tenderness of nursing mothers over the weanling.
It gave us, in our thirst, sweet clear water to sip,
more delicious than wine to the boon companion.
It turns the sun away whenever it faces us,
veiling it, yet giving leave to the breeze.
Its pebbles startle the jewel-decked maidens,
who reach to touch their well-strung necklaces.
"The Exodus of al-Andalus"
The Exodus of al-Andalus
A lover bade farewell to patience when he bade farewell to you,
letting slip the secret you had entrusted to him.
He gnashes his teeth in regret that he did not
add more to those steps when he saw you off.
O brother of the full moon in splendor and in light,
God keep the time that made you rise.
If my night runs long after you — how often
I passed the night with you, complaining that the night was too short.
