5.0 out of 5 stars A high quality book with facts about the three most important coloured stones., 10 April 2007

By Casimir von Schantz "www.cvs.fi" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald Buying Guide: How to Evaluate, Identify, Select and Care for These Gemstones (Newman Gem & Jewelry Series) (Paperback)

An good insight into the trade for the consumer. It is easy-to-read, filled with great colour pictures, and with descriptions in everyday language that even the non-professional can easily understand. I recommend it to everyone.

For further important reading i suggest You coplete Your collection with the Enhancement-books by the author Ted Themelis (please search with the name of the Author to find the books in question).

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy for a beginner, 27 Aug 2007

By Carmen Fry - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald Buying Guide: How to Evaluate, Identify, Select and Care for These Gemstones (Newman Gem & Jewelry Series) (Paperback)

I first came across this book in the library years ago, and was hooked solely on the pictures. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, and I bought it, remembering the pictures. This time, I actually read it through, having a better idea about jewelry. This book is good for a beginner, because it talks about how rubies and sapphires are chemically the same but the color gives them different names, and the special qualities of rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. I own many Colombian emeralds that belonged to my Colombian grandmother, so I was able to turn around and look at pieces I own, and understand the context of the book. I also learned the wonderful qualities of these popular colored stones, from cuts, to acceptable clarity, and valuble color variations. For someone who wants something easy to read, easy to understand, and has fabulous pictures, I would recommend this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is not serious ., 15 Sep 2005

By Mohammed "Maxamed Aden" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald Buying Guide: How to Evaluate, Identify, Select and Care for These Gemstones (Newman Gem & Jewelry Series) (Paperback)

I was hoping for a more serious book with new facts and price evaluations. At least show examples and more pictures.
The author did a very bad job with this book its childish and not informing anything special even the internet can give you better stuff to read .

DONT BUY THIS BOOK

regards
Maxamed Aden
