HOME FROM GERMANY William T. (Bill) Smith mmmzi u Charm, elegance, style ill rings of superb qualily. Convenient Terms. $87.50 How often we hear that remark! Folks seem surprised when we show them that diamonds that look almost alike are so far apart in price. Size is a minor factor. Color differences can depend on many things. Cut and imperfections are not always glaringly obvious. So it comes down to this; your jeweler’s integrity counts a great deal when you buy a diamond. Don't treat it lightly.
