Clueless about diamonds? You won't be after you read this book! Packed with close-up photographs, this reference shows you how to judge diamonds on the basis of how they look, rather than just on how they are graded. Diamond grading reports don't tell you everything you need to know to make wise diamond purchases. Written for consumers and professionals, this handbook expands on the information provided in Newman's companion book, the "Diamond Ring Buying Guide" and covers additional topics that readers have requested.
