About Real Diamonds
Experts in diamonds say that there is no public in the world so intelligent in the choice of stones of the first water and of good color as the American. No diamond of any value should ever be purchased without carefully examining the stone with a microscope. There are abundance of diamonds in market which are offered at attractive prices, and which even to the experienced eye present all the beauty of perfect stones until they are subjected to a microscopic test, when the flaws in them become clearly visible
The handsomest diamond ornaments now worn are in sun or star forms, and are set in platinum to show as little metal as possible. When worn as a pendant they are hung on a strong but almost invisible chain of platinum and gold. A renaissance scroll is another pattern of these diamond ornaments, which may be worn as brooch, pendant or jeweled hairpin; this is made up solidly of diamonds in invisible setting. There are also lovely crescents and many other designs. - New York Tribune.
