Imitation Gems.
w
Nearly all of the precious stones have
been successfully copied in glass, some
so accurately that even experts have
been deceived. A prominent New York
jeweler, In discussing the achievements
of art In this direction, says:
“Exquisite gray ‘pearls’ are now
made by cutting beads from mother-of-
pearl shells and coating them with a
thin layer of silver. But, of course,
they are mere imitations, and the
pearl is not a precious stone In the
ordinary sense of the word, being an
animal product. There Is an import­
ant distinction between the artificial
gems and imitation precious stones.
The former are true gems, while the
latter are only counterfeits. The busi­
ness of manufacturing imitations of
diamonds and other crystals of value
is conducted on nn immense scale In
Europe, and large numbers are ex-
ported to the United States.
