Precious Stones Cut and Set

under pale amethyst and so on, so that the
light reflected from beneath through the stone
will have a deep yellow or violet Color giving
the stone much finer appearance than if it
were set free.
When setting common stones in cheap goods,
they do not take the trouble to line the box
with tinfoil, but merely give it a coat of some
colored varnish. This method is not one to
be recommended, for stone that has the
foil beneath it looks much handsomer
In order to make cheap article with gen.
uine stones, the following ingenious device is
resorted to:
Thin slips of some gem, as emerald, for ex.
ample, are backed up with glass of exactly
the same color, and the glass likewise polished
By setting one of these double stones with
the real stone outward and the glass beneath,
the surface will, of course, exhibit all the prop,
critics OF the gem, such as hardness and bril-
lancy.
These half-genuine stones are known as "un.
deraid gems" When they are skillfully set.
it is difficult even for the expert to distin,
guish them from perfectly genuine stones.
But, STILL it is easy to distinguish them by
holding the stone before the eye in such a
manner that the light reflected from the top
enters the eye at an oblique angle. The sur.
face where the stone and glass meet can be
distinctly recognized by the difference in the
refractive power of the two media, having the
appearance of a crack or flaw in the stone.
The public are frequently deceived by dealers
who represent these undcrlaid stones as being
perfectly genuine.

way as to heighten this effect as much as
possible which is accomplished by making a
large number of small facets. The brilliant
is an example
Precious stones that do not crystalline, and
are distinguished by play of colors, like the
opal, OF peculiar effects Of light, like the cat s.
eve, are usually polished round OF oval, like
a loaf OF bread or half of an egg
Gems are set in two different ways, distin-
guished as a free setting and band setting. In
the former the stone is exposed on all sides
and only held by little clasps, All its prop
critics, its fire, its play OF colors, show to the
best advantage here. Hence very valuable
stones are never set in any other way.
Flat stones that are set in rings are some
times fastened on the edge, so as to leave only
the top and bottom surfaces exposed. In the
band setting the stone forms the lid of a
gold box, and if the gem is transparent the
Upper surface is generally made fiat and
smooth, while the under side forms low
In those stones which receive band or box
setting, and are less valuable the beauty of
the stone is increased by lining the box with
colored tinfoil, the color of the foil CORE
spending to that of the stone. Thus, for ex-
ample, a piece of dark-yellow foil is placed
under very pale topaz. deep purple foil

Nanny Culpepper lived with her two chill
dren in half-tumbledown little cabin on the
outskirts of a Western village.
A grove OF black walnut trees stretched
their great arms above the humble roof, and a
sink-hole' pond, common to that section of
the country, showed its stagnant waters few
yards from the house.
Nanny had but recently moved into the
nominal rent and supported herself and her her
offspring by taking in washing and ironing
from the people of the village.
