Pity poor Venus de Milo. No hands, let alone arms, for stacking
rings and bracelets. From time immemorial, women have sought
to embellish their appendages with sparkling things—many
sparkling things: Cleopatra stacked bracelets around
her upper arm, African tribeswomen put garlands of jewels
around their necks, American teenagers in the 50s wrapped
delicate chains around their ankles. If only we had a few
additional limbs, like the many fanciful goddesses of various
mythologies, we’d adorn ourselves with even more! However,
given our ten fingers and two arms, we do a fairly respectable
job of piling on the elegant bling. Herewith, some ideas for
transforming stacks into towers! By Ruth J. Katz
