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.
