DIAMOND CUTTERS IN NEW
YORK.
Doing Work at Which Foreign
Hands DO Not Satisfy American
Taste.
Net0 York Sun.

NetO York Sun.
Five years ago two diamond cutters
dressed and polished all the stones that
came in the rough to this market. In
the main only the finished diamonds
were imported. But it was found that
the work of cutting and polishing dia-
monds was often done carelessly in
Europe, and that American wOrkmen
could better satisfy the critical taste of
American buyers of precious stones. So
marked was the difference between the
imported diamonds and those cut and
polished here, that a demand for the
stones of American finish was created,
and within five years five or six more
diamond cutters have established them
selves in New York. They dress and
polish perhaps one-twentieth of all the
diamonds sold in the city, and the excel
lence of their work is recognized.
The stones are imported, as a rule,
from South Africa, and although many
Of the African diamonds are off color, it
is said that as large and as fine stones are
found there as in the old mines of the
East Indies and Brazil. The stones come
here in the rough, uneven in shape, and
lacking wholly the lustre and the sparkle
which attach to the very idea of dia-
mOnd. The first process is what is called
cleaving. By this process the irregulari-
ties of shape are Clipped off and the
general form of the diamond is secured,
but without any of the angles which
separate the faces. The pieces Clipped
of, if of suitable color and without flaws,
are used for making what are called rose
diamonds. Then the faces of the dia-
mond are cut by the rubbing together of
two Of the stones, and after this process
the stones look like irregular pebbles of
ground glass. They are entirely without
lustre or beauty. The polishing con-
cludes the process Each face of the
diamond is in turn exposed to the sur
face of an iron wheel revolving 1000
times minute, and, by means of oil and
diamond dust, the stone is polished and
given its wonderful brilliancy.
Mr.. Henry Fera, diamond cutter in
John street, said yesterday that large
part of the work of the diamond finish
ers in this city was repolishing the stones
cut in Europe, to satisfy the more
particular judgment of American buyers.
On account of this extra pains which is
taken with the work here, the diamonds
Oh AIneTlCdn polish COmmdnu somewhat
higher prices. An idea of the business
in cutting diamonds in this city may be
had from the statement that last year
nearly 5000 carats in the rough were cut
and polished here. Wages for laborers
here are from twice to three times what
is paid in Europe for the same kind of
work The labor adds $40 a carat to
the value of the uncut diamond. The
loss in weight from the cutting is over
one half. This so adds to the value of the
diamond that stone of one carat, cost
ing, in the rough. for instance, $40, would
sell for about $110 when cut and pol
ished. The value, however, does not
depend alone upon the weight of the
stone, but is affected also by the presence
of blemishes or impurity of color

improvement that he has ever

bushes Of the pine family with an
occasional patch Of poverty grass.

vender 10 supply the small amount
Of stock that was here. Now, this
same land is enclosed with good
fences, aud is nicely carpeted with
Verdant wheat or clover, or dotted
over with shocks of corn. Power
ty grass has been exchanged for
clover or wheat, and pine bushes
for shocks of corn Population has
increased about a hundred per
cent. and land about five hundred
per cent. All this improvement
Is due 10 the industrious hands of
our enterprising farmers.
