High Class Carbon-Diamonds, which are just hunks of carbon putting on the ritz, according to science, here make a dazzling impression on the eye and the pocketbook. The collection of gems worn by Betty Thompson at the Cartier, Inc., exhibit in New York, is valued at $2,000,000. The ring contains the Mazarin diamond; the ear rings were Marie Antoinette's. The cigarette lighter is frosted with diamonds, too
