There’s
nothing more frustrating than the clasp on a brand new necklace breaking,
leaving the jewelry as just a nice design sitting on your desk.
In this educational guide, Renee Newman teaches the wary buyer how
to spot quality merchandise to avoid having this problem.
This guide explains the basics of gold and platinum, what’s so special about
the metals, and terminology to be aware of when buying it.
Knowing the terms the experts know helps when purchasing so you
know exactly what you’re getting. For instance, there is a chapter allocated to testing jewelry to be sure its
real gold. Newman offers instructions for simple ‘Acid Testing for the Lay Person’ as she calls
it, of course including safety tips!
With chapters dedicated to finding the best buy, caring for your jewelry, and
appraising the worth of your jewelry, you can not only be stylish and
knowledgeable, but with the help of this book you can make a profit off
the old jewelry you don’t wear anymore with Newman’s tips for selling
.All
in all, this book is very helpful for those who are not quite sure how to
handle the jewelry industry and need an inside look.
