ABOUT THIS BOOK

This is the most exciting time to buy a coloured gemstone because there are more varieties than ever before to choose from, including altogether new gems, revolutionary new cuts and new ways to buy gems—such as Internet auctions and TV shopping.
But so much sophisticated technology is now available that the buyer must remain wary of fraud at all times.
Lack of information, error and even false information can turn the buying of a gem or a piece of jewelry confusing, intimidating, overwhelming and even costly.
Buyers need a source of expert guidance.
Practical, comprehensive and easy to understand, this book offers in depth all the information one needs on buying sparkling gemstones with confidence
