The Elements: Six pomegranates (about $1.50 each) and two dozen Italian plums (about $1.50 a pound) or fresh figs (about $4.50 a pound).

The Container: Any white bowl with a sensuous line.

The Tip: When you mix two fruits, their size and shape should be different, but the tonality of the colors should be the same, as with jewel-toned plums and pomegranates.
