If diamonds can still be called "a girl's best friend," girls have 18 of their best friends on display in the jewelry store. You can see the largest diamond ever discovered, the famous, cursed blue Hope diamond and other gemstones.
But wait! Lest anyone consider sealing these diamonds to fire up the diamonds on display are really hard work, and the world's more famous ones. The estimated value of the actual gms runs from $5 million to $10 million.
The replicas are used by Elliot Gillerman, professor of geology, in teaching a silversmithing class.
Among the replicas are:
"The Cullinan. This diamond, which weighed 3,106 carats when found, was the largest diamond in the world, and it was cut into nine large stones and 96 small brilliants. The largest of these is from Africa, and weighing 350.2 carats, has been set in the overcoated crown of Emperor. The second stone was set in the English Imperial State Crown. Those
The Kohinoor Replicas of the old cut and the new cut are on display at Lindley. This diamond has a long East Indian history and is part of British Crown jewels. Its estimated value is $500,000.
—The Hope diamond. The Hope, the largest of colored diamonds, is a famous for its deep sapphire blue color, the diamond has a long history of being Stolen from the American Museum that the Hope diamond was one of two like colored stones found in 1857 by an unfortunate woman was stolen during the French revolution. The Hope diamond is displayed at the Smithsonian Museum.
—The Great Mogul. Legend has it that the Great Mogul diamond was one of a pair of diamonds found in the mines of Brahma in India and was stolen by a renegade French soldier who had managed to get himself appointed guardian of the mine. This stone is now part of the
diamond collection of the U.S.S.R.
The Shah is an $8 carat stone
whose most remarkable feature
is its white glaze. It comes in
names and dates of the first three
Persian rulers to own it. It also is
known as a "white gem."
The Star of the South is the largest of the Brazilian diamonds. It is transparent and a carit, weighing 128 carat.
The 141-carat Regent is another diamond with a long East Indian tradition. By devious means it fell into the hands of William Pitt, governor of Fort St. George, Madras, and then into more than a dozen of the National Collections at the Louvre at Paris.
A citron yellow diamond of uncertain history and weighing 137 carats is known variously as the Florentine, Tuscany or
Austrian Yellow.
A beautiful little 40 carat gem known as the Polar Star is among the Russian-owned diamonds.
Not including the original Cullinan, the replicas on display represent diamonds ranging in size from the 40-carat Pasha of Egypt and the Polar Star to 280 carats. Some of the world's best diamonds have been found in India, Brazil and parts of Africa.

Residents are fined ten cents for each unearned credit because they fail to pay the payment of monthly rent. The rent contract specifically states that residents are required to credit a month, which is equal to $40. This amount is subtracted from the rent points earned. Rent includes meals and six nights a week.
Members are required to eat the evening meal together six nights a week. Anyone that is not admitted is not admitted as a resident.
