How to be a Jewelry Detective.... I found this book somewhat informative with some interesting facts here and there but nothing that captured my interest for very long, (probably just me on a bad day) I guess I'd say I liked it, although it may be more interesting to others, so I leave it up to you to decide and suggest you read more feedback from others as I am no expert by any means what-so-ever, but on that note, I'll say that I do like and enjoy some of C. Jeanenne Bell's other books.

I love this guide! I actually picked it up in a antique store but I decided not to buy it that day because I had too much already to buy. I regretted that from the moment I left the store. I then spent the next three months trying to remember what the name of it was. I happened onto it while searching for jewelry on the internet. If you collect costume jewelry, then you must get this guide because she teaches you all about how to tell the difference in Bakelite, pearls, etc., vs. fake/faux stones or materials. A must-have for the serious collector who will refer to it again and again.

This is a well written paperback with lots of helpful clues as to buying both used and new jewelry. I feel a lot smarter now about my future purchases. Well worth the cost and I would recommend this book to the person wanting to know more about purchasing Jewelry from different sources.
