Risky! I wonder where this ad was originally published? Or was this in an era when "nature, exoticim and health" were used an an excuse to publish nudity?

And by the way the woman in the picture is so beautiful. Her beauty hasn't aged at all.

It's from the Art News Annual, Christmas Edition 1949. My scanner couldn't fit the whole ad, Harry Winston Inc. is/was at 7 East 51st, New York. "Owners and cutters of the Jonker Vargas and Libertor diamonds. Photo by John Rawlings."

Yah, it would pretty well have to be exactly that. It sure wouldn't a' run in The New Yorker, though they'd a' wished for it.

oh my that is so incredibly gorgeous.

Now I kind of want jewelry like that so I can wear it naked!

Well yeah, you wouldn't exactly go parading around town with clothes AND jewelry like that, now would you?

Seriously! The clothes would just crimp my style!
