About the Book

How to Have Your "Carats" and Wear Them Too!

Your Guide to Gems and Jewelry

Picture this. Another birthday or holiday is right around the corner and again, you are stumped about what to get that special person in your life. There's no way you can fall back on another new kitchen gizmo. Remember last time? The atmosphere didn't warm up for almost a week!

Sure, diamonds may be a girls' best friend but they aren't always the answer. They are usually priced way over the average budget and believe it or not, there are other gems that are just as attractive.

If you aren't familiar with some of the alternatives to diamonds, you need a "crash course" in "Gemstones" and "Your Guide to Gems and Jewelry" is the perfect answer!

If you are considering becoming a Certified Gemologist then this isn't the route for you. But, if you are a novice and just need to learn about what to look for at the jewelry counter then read on.

Learn everything you need to know to navigate those price tags and learn how to tell one gem from another. Take a look:

  • Why You Should Learn About Gemstones - Some day you are going to be in the market for jewelry. Best be prepared!
  • Learning the Lingo - Jewelry jargon can sound like a foreign language. Lapis, loupe, inclusions and feldspars. What does it all mean? We'll tell you!
  • What About Carats - Well, carrots we eat and carats we measure. But, how does the carat weight affect the price and what's the difference between size and carat weight?
  • Evaluating Color - Learn how lighting affects color AND how to grade color in colored gemstones.
  • Judging Transparency and Clarity - Learn all about inclusions and blemishes and how lighting can affect the transparency as well as the clarity.
  • All About Cuts - Ever wondered about the different styles of gems? If so, discover how cuts affect price and the face-up view and the "life."
  • Learn About Cat's Eye and Stars - Find out how these stones differ from others and how you can evaluate them.
  • Pros and Cons of Synthetics - Can you tell the difference between a "real" stone and a synthetic? Some people actually prefer the synthetic. Discover the prices versus naturals and other ways they differ from natural stones.
  • What Are the Different Types of Stones - Did you know that moonstone is a feldspar? What is a zoisites? They sound like some kind of disease, don't they? Actually those are just two different "types" of stones. Learn about them in Chapter 9.
  • Evaluating Gemstones - Here is where you learn all about the different colored stones. Learn everything about them from alexandrite to turquoise.
  • How to Spot Fraud - Unfortunately there is an "under-belly" in gemstones just as in other business. Learn how to spot fraud and identify unscrupulous dealers.
  • Caring for Your Jewelry - Learn the proper way to store, clean and care for your jewelry. Pay close attention because the instructions can vary from stone to stone.
  • Where and How Gemstones Are Mined - Discover how a gemstone is created and prepared for4 you to wear from where it is mined to how it is cut.
  • Buying Wholesale - There are avenues for doing this, but you must be careful. Learn about some of the unseen dangers of this practice.

Instead, become a knight in shining armor AND watch the sapphires glinting in her earlobes or the emeralds gleaming on her wrist. You'll never regret owning your own copy of "Your Guide to Gems and Jewelry." Grab your copy now!
