present time from $50 to 81 900.
Diamonds are considerably higher
than they were. For people who

fancy rings of emeralds and
diamonds aud rubies and diamonds
are frequently ordered. The sap
phire is also quite popular, but Is
always accompanied by diamond
when II Is for an engagement ring.
At this house only pure white dia.
n,onds are sold for engagement

beauty and diamonds Of pink and

There are many rings of great
beauty, with gemsset entirely round

corrse, are not used for engagement

mentoes.
Fine emeralds are rare. These
stones are neverly entirely perfect,
and they now range in price nearly
as high as diamonds.
