Customer Reviews

This book works for me---and I collect antique jewlery!

The Price Guide to Antique Jewelry is a very well done book for the beginner, the expert and everyone in between. The information is easy to understand, while the pricing information gives the reader a good feel for the real price levels you should expect to pay for antique jewelry, NOT "steals" at garage or estate sales. Determining values of pieces can be very difficult for people not "in the business". This book does a great job at giving the reader solid, dependable information without listing prices that are "questionable" to either the buyer OR the seller! As a collector, the book has helped me to feel much more confident when deciding what to purchase and how much I should be willing to pay. It's nice to see something current and thorough finally written about jewelry pricing.Thanks for letting me add my "two cents".A collector of over 100 pieces of antique jewelry.

Superb guide to antique jewelry-- written in plain English !

Will be of great interest to appraisers, bank trust officers, auction devotees, garage & estate sale enthusiasts, pawnbrokers, as well as collectors of all types of antique jewelry. Pricing is up-to-the-minute; all photographs are clear and detailed. This is a reference book that's actually a pleasure to use.... I recommend it without hesitation !

Colorful, organized and a wealth of valuable information.

The authors did a wonderful job in compiling this very useful book. The book was well written, colorful and definitely a great resource tool for analyzing everyone's family jewelry. I would definitely recommend taking a look at this valuable gem!
