"The Nuts & Bolts" of Appraisal Practice!,
By Linda (Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Illustrated Guide to Jewelry Appraising: Antique, Period, and Modern (Hardcover)
Anna Miller, in her recently updated version (9-99) of "The Illustrated Guide to Jewelry Appraising", gives a novice or a professional some expert information in this edition. The concepts and principles section alone is worth the price of the book, but her book also covers everthing from making the "correct identification" to tips on the appraisal document itself. Also included is supplemental info. on antique jewelry, estimating values and appraisal narrative, plus weight estimation formulas for unusual diamond cuts. I would suggest her book to anyone with an interest in appraising or anyone who has the need to understand the process of jewelry evaluation.

A narrative jewelry description, a methodology for research, and much more,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Illustrated Guide to Jewelry Appraising, 3rd Edition: Antique, Period, and Modern (Hardcover)
Maybe you think the fine art of jewelry appraising is one of determining value alone - but there's so much more to the skill, as Registered Master Valuer and jewelry historian Anna Miller reveals in Illustrated Guide To Jewelry Appraising 3rd Edition: Antique, Period & Modern. Her updated, expanded new third edition combines case studies and typical valuation challenges with key documents to aid in the pricing process, instructions on how to do a narrative jewelry description, a methodology for research, and much more. Loaded with practical, technical data, Illustrated Guide To Jewelry Appraising should not be missed by any serious jewelry collector.

This review is from: Illustrated Guide to Jewelry Appraising, 3rd Edition: Antique, Period, and Modern (Hardcover)
This book has some valuable information and it is worth reading if you are a novice and you purchase a lot of jewelry for pleasure and business.However, I noticed that she tells one story about cameo values in this book and tells the complete opposite in her cameo third edition book. That was a "red flag" warning in my opinion.
