In this update of the 2001 edition, the author of several guides on gemstones offers advice on what qualities, branding trends, experts, and scams to look for in buying diamonds online or offline, as well as how to care for diamonds. The book includes price guides, resources, and a photo gallery of classic and contemporary jewelry trends.
