DIAMOND.
83
Diamonds are always equally in fashion but the mode of setting varies according to caprice, or the desire of novelty: hence the jeweller has perpetual opportunities of exercising and displaying the inventive elegance of his taste[1].
- ↑ It is customary with jewellers when they receive an order to make a particular design, to fix the diamonds in black or white wax in the form required.—If they are breathed upon until the glare or lustre is destroyed, any imperfections may be easily discovered.
