GORGEOUS BOOK!

This book is wonderful! Visually stunning, some of the pictures are enough to make you drool! Filled with extremely well photographed color and B & W photos of museum quality pieces, used to illustrate the jewelry terms being defined. The definitions are well written, and reference related terms in a very smooth and easy to follow way. This book is a MUST if you are fond of jewelry! MORE than worth the money!

The BEST jewelry dictionary I've seen so far...

From A to Z, the best jewelry dictionary I've seen. Aside from looking something up, it gives you the opportunity to learn terms you've never heard before. Even if you've been in the business a long time. Fantastic. Every antique lover should have this book!
