I read this book while visiting a relative and decided that this book is a must to have before buying any gems, so I bought my own copy. At least I can ask the right questions and understand the seller's answers better.
The latest great book from Renee Newman: this is another wonderful book written to help acquire the right knowledge when making the important decision to purchase a special piece of jewelry! Bravo!
Love this book. It's the perfect book for me to take to the Tucson Gem Show. I've learned a lot about gems but it never hurts to have a pocket book around to help when I'm not sure or don't know.
