THE ESTERBROOK STEEL PEN CO., JAMOODS SUPERSEDED BY THE Diamante Brillants must not be confounded with the Frenen paste and glass imitations, mounted in cheap gilt or plated settings, with which the country is flooded under the various fancy names given to so-called "imitation diamonds." Diamante Brilliants were exhibited side by side with real diamonds of great value at the Paris Exhibition and were awarded a Prize Medal, and the highest recompense awarded to imitations. They attracted universal admiration, and immediately took the place of, and were intermixed with, costly diamond ornaments, and are now worn at the Court balls and upon all occasions among the best society in London, Paris, and all the capitals of Europe. Diamante Brilliants can be worn at all times, in daylight or gaslight, with perfect confidence and absolute security, as they possess all the brilliancy and penetrating lustre peculiar to real diamonds, and are the ONLY PERFECT SUBSTITUTE FOR DIAMONDS OF THE FIRST WATER. By their purity and brilliancy they bear comparison with old mine diamonds, and resemble them so closely that detection is almost impossible. They are superior in every respect to real diamonds of inferior quality. The investigations, experiments, and labor of two generations have been expended in bringing these remarkable jewels to their present state of perfection. They are produced chemically by a secret process, known only to the inventors, and they possess all the rare beauty of the gems they counterfeit. PRESS OPINIONS OF DIAMANTE BRILLIANTS: "Their lustre and brilliancy elicit universal admiratio n."-Court Journal."Products of perfect purity."-Journal Society of the Arts."Certainly far nearer in resemblance to real diamonds than anything we have seen."-The Mechanic.-"A great achievement."Land and Water."The refractive power is equal to real diamonds of the purest water."-World of Science. "They successfully fulfil all the purposes for which real diamonds (even of the first quality) are utilized."-London Times."Ladies who can afford to wear the real gem will henceforth reserve them for indoors, for since the advent of Diamante Brilliants' things are no longer what they seem."-Boston Saturday Evening Gazette. The reputation of Diamante Brilliants is permanently established abroad, and we take great pleasure in bringing them prominently to the notice of Americans. To do so properly requires some nerve and a liberal outlay of capital. These magnificent stones are imported especially for us, and are set in SOLID GOLD, made in Philadelphia to our order, by one of the largest firms engaged in the manufacture of pure gold jewelry in this country. All the stones are set by professional diamond-setters, and as much skill bestowed upon them as with the precious stones. For the purpose of simplifying our business we use but three sizes of the New Diamonds. The Ring, warranted solld gold, one-half karat stone. The Earrings, warranted solld gold, each 1 karat stone. The Stud, warranted solid gold, 2 karat stone. The illustrations give an accurate outline of the style and setting, but no illustration or description can give an idea of their rare beauty. THEY MUST BE SEEN TO BE APPRECIATED. A RING, same style and quality of setting, but with an inferior stone, has never been sold for less than $4.00. We can safely say the same of the STUD; and EARRINGs, of inferior quality and style, have never been sold for less than $6.00. In London, to-day, Diamante Brilliants, same size stone and quality of settings, are selling for three to four times the prices named above, and we believe them well worth $5 each. SO MUCH FOR THEIR VALUE, AS WE WANT THIS CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD. "What! all this trouble and expense about a Premium for your paper?" Yes, indeed! We can't select a Premium that will please every body in a day, or a year, perhaps, yet we have expended so much time, thought, and labor on these-we are having the settings made, and the mounting under our own roof almost-we feel emphatically they will make every recipient happy.
