ENGRAVING ON DIAMONDS.
An Artistic Feat K~'eutly Accomplished 10
Paris

Diamonds can now be engraved in a
very artistic manner This development
of the diamond cutting art brings into
existence new class OF jewelry. for
which a considerable demand is expected.
IL was long believed that the diamond
could not be engraved with safety or
satisfactory results \ few stones rough
" engraved were found in India. and a
diamond was exhibited al the Paris TX
positl0n Of 1913 on which portrait Of the
king OF Holland was scratched. But the
work was very imperfect and the stones
were rather depolished than engraved.
Some OF the finest examples Of engrav-
ing on diamonds are the work OF VI.
Bordlnct. a Paris jeweler. one Is a GER
tain scarf-pin representing a yataghan. OF
which the blade is a slender diamond. .
the handle is "A ruby. Another example
is A large circular stone on which a pansy
with its foliage Is engraved. In another
case. the design is a knife. made with Two
diamonds
An elaborate piece Of work Is a bicy-
Gle. Of which the wheels are two circular
diamonds The spokes are represented
by lines engraved on the diamonds. \
small hole is pierced at each aSle.
Another diamond is carved like a FISH.
A handsome brooch Is a scarabaeus, sur
rounded by sapphires and orilliants.
The most remarkable Is ring made OF
one diamond. the interior surface being
polished and the exterior ela5orately en-
graved. II Is said that thsre is nothing
similar 10 this IN existence.
Other examples are brooches. represent
