Title: The Pearl Buying Guide
Publisher: Intl Jewelry Pubns
Publication Date: 1994
Binding: paperback
Edition: 2nd Edition
A guide giving clear, step-by-step pointers on how to buy the best pearls for your money. Learn to tell a fake from a real one, compare prices, choose good quality ones, save money on your purchases and turn a pearl necklace into a versatile piece of jewellery.
From Library Journal:
So many subtle considerations of quality go into the selection and purchase of pearls-luster, size, shape, origin, flaws, nacre thickness, and color-and this book is an indispensable guide to judging these characteristics, distinguishing genuine from imitation, and making wise choices. Gemologist Newman (The Gold Jewelry Buying Guide, Internat. Jewelry Pubns., 1993) has made minor revisions in this second edition, but approximately 25 fine color photographs have been added. Even jewelers will benefit from the detailed yet easy-to-understand text, which is enhanced by Newman's own black-and-white photos. Quizzes at the end of each chapter reinforce what is covered. Hints are given for selecting clasps and the wearing and care of pearl jewelry. Highly recommended, especially for public libraries.
