GEMS AND SETTINGS.

More valuable than diamond. are
green garnets, because they are so ex-
ceedingly rare. They are OF IN unsur-
passed rich shade far beyond that of
IN emerald II are very brilliant. On
the other hand red garnets are so com.
mon that they cost next to nothing.
1t was thought at one time that wear
ing emeralds was good for the eyesight.
The story is told by old historians that
a carved stone lion IN the shore Of
Cyprus had such brilliant emeralds for
eyes that the fish in hat part of the sea
were all frightened Iway and not till
the fishermen had stolen the emcralds
and replaced them by green glass did
the .fnny inhabitants return to be
caught.
Low settings, which Of late years
have rather been overlooked, are very
beautiful, especially for stones like the
turquoise, opal or topaz. When II store
is sunk flush, with the s~urroundi- ?
metal 1t becomes n spot of color in the
midst Of a molding or chasing which IS
attractive In itself, but the modern
method permits no decoration of the
gold or silver. Antique jewels are al
most invariably sunken.
Or late years the ruby has become go
rare that its price Is beyond the nvcrace
mortal. 1t was considered during the
dark ages n protection against evil und
n help to n cheerful disposition. In
China n ruby is put In the corner stone
OF n building to insure good luck. Our
best rubles come from the Burmah
mines, which, before the English took
possession, belonged 20 n king who
Jchiously guarded them. No foreigner
