GREAT JEWELS OF THE WORLD.
Diamonds and Their Value-The Fourteen
Famous Diamonds and Their Hlstory.

diamonds md Their value-The Fourteen
Famous Diamonds and Their History.
It would be hard, indeed impossible,
to make anything like a trustworthy
estimate of the money value Of the pre-
cious stones owned in the world. If we
could get at the figures they would be
enormous-far beyond the largest guess
of most men. These stones are the &C.
cumulations of many centuries, and they
have gone on steadily increasing in
value though at different periods their
comparative worth has greatly varied.
Nowadays the diamond takes the lead
rs the very chief Of jewels, but it has
not always held that position. Before
the skill of the lapidary, which now
brings out all its beauties, was brough
to perfection, the pearl and the ruby
stood before it. Even now a faultless
ruby exceeding one carat in weight is
worth considerably more than diapond.
Thus, 81, 500 has been given for a ruby
of three ~carats, although a diamond OF
the same weight would sell for no more
than $500 in London. But it is very
difficult to find a perfect ruby. To make
it the gem which surpasses the diamond
in value, no matter how great its bril-
liancy nor how free it may be from de-
fects and flaws, it must have the precise
pigeons blood red, which is 80 highly
esteemed.
The cutting of diamonds into regular
forms, which first began to be practised
in 1456, is now most extensively carried
on in Amsterdam. OF the $4,000 he
brews living in hat city, it is estimated
that 10, 900 are directly or indirectly de-
pendent upon the trade Of diamond cut
Ting. Although the greatest skill ID re-
Quired in the cutters, they are poorly
maid. The three forms in which d1a-
monds are cut are the table, the rose,
and the brilliant. The last has super
seeded the first two except for inferior
stones. The brilliant is a double
pyramid OF zone cut of at the top by a
large plane or table, and at the bottom
by a small one, called the collet. The
weight of diamonds is calculated as fol-
lows: Four grains :. one carat; l4l}
carats - one ounce troy. 1t will thus
be seen that a diamond grain is less than
an ordinary troy grain five diamond
grains are equal to four troy grains.
Taking advantage of the facts present
ed in all article on "Precious stones, "
in the British Quarterly Review, and
supplementing them with others, we
will give the history OF some Of the most
famous of these Jewels. First, as to the
great diamonds of the world, which may
be TINS enumerated.
