The diamond markets are especially threatened, for the men and women who made much money during the war and heavily in dlamonds recently have been sclling brilliants extenslely, while the old families of established ‘wealth, upon which the trade once de- ed, have ceased to buy. It is said tificial jewel is preferred by many be- cause it is less expensive and often can be differentiated only by the connols- seur. The business in synthetic stones has grown immensely during the last few years, with Germany and France the principal competitors, and Switzerland a close third. Raw materials for the manufacture of the artificial ruby, which s accomplished by an electrical process, are purchased by manu- facturers from Germany, which has handicapped Switzerland in the race for control of the world market. Although the production of artificial jewels has greatly incre: prices have risen, which is attributed by the the improved technique. map- fold. Fourth Floor. . . . . ‘ £ . ..
