Paris. —The Paris Syndical Chambers of Jewelers and Goldsmiths on the one hand and of diamond merchants on the other have won a case which is of Interest to buyers of artificial pearls. • A dealer In the latter has been restrained from advertising them as “reconstituted” pearls. The court found that there Is no such thing as a socalled “reconstituted" pearl. It consists merely of mothero’-pearl covered with some coating.
