DIAMONDS
The Diamonds and Diamond Jewelry offered in this catalog are classified as follows:
A GRADE
The finest white color with a slight blue tinge, absolutely perfect. We recommend this grade to those wanting something very fine as to color and perfection.
B GRADE
The same fine color as A Grade, but with slight imperfections. We strongly recommend this grade to those who prefer a stone with fine color (even though it have some slight imperfection) to one that is perfect but with not as good a color.
C GRADE
A good white stone, absolutely perfect.
D GRADE
The same fine color as in Grade A and B, but with imperfections slightly more pronounced than in Grade B.
We can also supply higher and cheaper grades than listed and shall be pleased to quote prices upon request. Diamonds vary so much in size and weight that it is almost impossible at times to give stones of even weights as catalogued. In such instances we will send the nearest possible to order and figure prices at the fractional deviation.
Write us for designs and estimates of any special piece of diamond or other jewelry you may wish to purchase, or we will be pleased to send a selection package for your inspection.
IMPORTANT
As there are few diamonds being mined at present it is becoming very difficult to fill orders with goods exactly as listed in catalog. Where we are unable to do so we will send as near as we have and invoice same on approval for your inspection.
CAUTION
Experts alone can determine the value of a Diamond, therefore careful buyers should purchase only from a House whose half century reputation guarantees the quality of every article sold to be exactly as represented.
You can safely send us your “Open Orders”
