lions OF the cutting OF diamonds as
cribed to Louis de Berquem Mt Brus-
sells I'm 1865.
Hardly any one will assert boldly
that no diamonds were cut before that
date. but It is reasonable to suppose
that Louis de Berquem regulated cut
ting by arranging the facets.
Long before the birth OF Louis de
Berquem cutting was known in India,
Even in Europe we find among the
treasures Of the churches thick dia-
monds cut into table and culet. the
upper sides beaten into sections. In
1850, according to the inventory OF the
jewels OF Louis, duke OF Anjou, Is
found an entire series OF cut diamonds.
There IS mention OF fiat diamond
with six sides. OF heart shaped dia-
mond, OF q diamond with eight sides,
OF lozenge shaped diamond. OF dia-
mond pointed on four sides and Of q
reliquary in which was set a diamond
cut in the shape OF shield.
History informs us that $50 years
before the first work Of Louis de Der.
quem there were ut Paris. at the cor
ner OF the Corroyerie, several diamond
cutters.
The Duke OF Burgundy, after n fas-
tidious repast given at the Louvre TO
the king and the French court In 1903.
offered to his noble guests eleven dia-
monds estimated to be worth 7S0
pieces of gold. the money OF the pc
Rod.
1t is hardly possible to suppose that
these were uncut diamonds; all Of
which goes 10 prove, Notwithstanding
some opinions. that Louis de Berquem

But this diamond was i'll shapen. and
