REAL AND FALSE DIAMONDS.

An imitation diamond Is never SO
brilliant as a genuine one. II you cam
not detect the difference, very simple
test Is TO place the stone under water.
The imitation stone is practically ex-
tinguished. while a genuine diamond
sparl;les even under water and is dis
tinctly visible. When possible place a
genuine stone beside the possible imi-
tation under water, and the contrast
will be apparent to the least expert
enced eye.
False diamonds are usually cut more
regularly than the genuine stones. In
cutting a diamond the material is saved
as fer as possible. In any Imitation the
material is itself worthless. and no at
