5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent information on diamonds and colored gemstones, July 26, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Dow Jones-Irwin Guide to Fine Gems and Jewelry (Hardcover)
This is the best book I have ever seen on diamonds, gemstones and jewelry. I contains excellent information on what to look for in each category of gemstones. It also contains great photo examples of properly cut stones and common problem areas. It explains the independent lab grading process and shows how to read the grading reports.

5.0 out of 5 stars A well researched treasure, March 26, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Dow Jones-Irwin Guide to Fine Gems and Jewelry (Hardcover)
One of the best books ever written if you are interested in collecting or investing in diamonds and colored gemstones. Discusses basic gemology, an analysis of the most commonly traded gemstones, colored gemstone and diamond grading with laboratory grading reports, gemstone treatments, pricing cycles, gemstone investing, gemstone markups and appraisals. Although this book is a little out of date, it is an excellent resource for beginners.
