in the sight of a rope or a collar
of pearls around a white neck, and
they are to most women the most
desirable jewel of all. But they
must be large or in quantity and
they are. if good, costly in the
extreme. The small pearls one
sees-seed pearls-are cheap, but
still set about a large diamond in
a ring they seem to improve the
diamond, and at the same time to
derive some of its virtue from
their neighborhood.
The pearl is all the more sought
after because, unlike other pre-
cious stones. no amount of artifi-
cial treatment, such as cutting or
polishing, can enhance its beau
ties. Natures workmanship must
be perfect and untouched and the
pearl comes to you exactly as it
energies from the oyster On the
other hand, it has this disadvan-
tage. 1t is liable to discoloration
and the only way is to give it a
rest from too much contact with
the skin. Still that is not the only
stone which suffers discoloration.
Was it not the famous necklace of
Marie Antoinette, preserved in a
guarded case in a museum, which
after years of nonuse began to
lose color and had to be worn at
intervals in order to give it its
pristine beauty?
The value of the pearl is COM
parable with that of the most cost
Iy gems. Its price varies with its
size, form and general beauty of
appearance. A pearl of the first
water must have symmetrical
form, a smooth surface, be free
from all blemishes or fractures. be
translucent, and have a fine white
color and perfect luster; and it
SO happens that it is rare to get
