HIGH PRICES FOfl DIAMONDS
Value of the Highly Desired Sparklers
Has Bee'i Soaring to Unheard
of Heights.
The economic situation of the world
at largo Is said by Jewelers to he
more responstbfe for rhc present-high
^prices of diamonds than any shortage
of diamonds In the South African
mines or any manipulation of the out
put by. the I >e Heers Diamond com
pany.
The following life lire's concerning dia
mond prices were obtained from Ant
werp. the European center of the dia
mond market. An iBiCut diamond be
fore the war cost S'JS a carat and $32
after cut ling. Immediately after the
declaration of war, the price slumped.
Jn? lOlfi the Oemians began to get
nervous regarding the value of paper
money and started buying all the dia
monds they could find.
France. Switzerland, Italy and Eng
land followed suit and the price went
up rapidly. On the eve of the armis
tice, an uncut carat diamond was
worth $70. Since the war ended, the
diamond market hns boomed, owing to
the depreciation of European money,
the difficulty of exchange and tbo em
bargo on the export of currency from
one European nation to another. 'In
day a carat of uncut stone tinds h
ready market at $b">o.
The Antwerp merchants no longer
seek customers. The market Is swamp
ed with buyers. Credit Is no longer
ijlven. The sales are for cash. I he
buyer frequently resells and the new
purchaser sells again at fat profits.
Thus the price keeps going up. Large
stones are snapped up at unheard of
peiees.
