Some who have prefer to take the estra profit themselves —We share it with our customers. Seventy to eighty-five of all diamonds are found in the De Beers' mines in Africa, and are esat in the rough state to London, whore they are sold to the cutters, who flock over to London from Amsterdam and Antwerp when they hear that a consignment is due. These cutters take their purchases back and commence cutting and polishing. The finished | article is then put into the hands of diamottfl brokers, who dispose of them to the dealers.. They, in turn, sell to the wholesaler, and so they reach the retail shopkeepers. We buy ours from the; cutter direct. When we want a supply the cutters send us parcels of likely stones direct to our Hatton Garden House. We thus pay but the one profit, viz., the cutting.
