diamcnd-cutter's trade.
Every phase of the work was extremely
expensive. After a cutting had been de-
vised and each facet had been designed
with its relation TO every other facet, the
cutting was first executed in glass. Only
the most expert cutters could be intrusted
with the work.

course. familiar. They are the rose cut
ling the cushion cutting and the bril-
liant cutting" The rose cutting is the old
est OF the three. and is still used for very
small stones. The diamond cut in this way
has a rounded appearance. and has no regu-
J lar number Of facets. Practically all the
really old diamonds have rose cuttings.
Previous to 1875 diamonds had what Is
known In the trade rs the cushion bril-
liant cutting" This cutting marked a great
Improvement over the CID "rose" form. IL
rendered the diamond much mere brilliant
and utilized more OF the stone. In form IL
was slightly longer than broad. with a nat
top or table. with a beveled edge, which
was cut with many facets.
The new brilliant" which Is now practi-
cally In universal use. was introduced In

tage was. however, that IL wasted more OF

a greater advancement upon the brilliant
than did the brilliant upon the previous
cuttir Sc.
To understand the form of the beauty OF
the new cutting IL Is necessary to be famii-
lar with the general form of previous cut
tings. The names of the faces OF a dia-
mond are more or less familiar. The HAT
top surface Of the old ordinary brilliant Is
called the table. The outer edge of the
stone, or its largest diameter, is called the
girdle, and the small surface at the bottom
IS called the culex. The brilliant cutting has
nfiy-six facets or cuttings, and, including
the table and the culeN. nfty-eight Facets.
The Twentieth Century" cutting gives the
diamond eighty facets. and does AVA with
