JEWELS FROM BLAY SCALES
This Much Known Of the Secret Of
the Creation Of Artificial
Pearls.

AS the real pearl comes from the
oyster. SO to large extent Is the
manufacture Of artificial pearls de-
pendent on certain species Of fish.
The complete processes are Of course
trade secrets. but 1t is of interest to
note that It is from the brilliant
scales Of the ablet. or blay. that es-
sence d'Orient is produced and 1t is
with this essence that imitation pearls
are manufactured.
The blay is described as "a small
fish with green back and q white
belly" and the essence is obtained
exclusively from the white scales,
which are covered with pigment Of
metallic appearance.
They are first treated with am
monia and then with fish glue, pow
der being first obtained and then q
paste which can be easily spread on
glass.
In the early stages of manufacture.
about 1855 this essence d'Orient was
applied TO little balls Of plaster. but

answered Blake, sinking his own voice.
