AS this is an age of novelties, and for
eign designers are struggling to produce
striking effects, you may receive a shock
by hearing that engraved diamonds are to
be a favorite wrinkle among people to
whom precious stones are drug. Marie

diamond set in a ring, which is now for
sale in London. This ring was among the
late French crown jewels, and it has given
leading jewellers an idea that is likely TO
bear fruit over here, where fair women
deny themselves nothing their husbands
and sweethearts choose to give Them
