Purchasing gems and jewelry can be a magical experience, filled with excitement and anticipation. But lack of information, error, or misrepresentation can make the thrill of buying a gem or piece of jewelry confusing, intimidating, overwhelming, and costly.

To help you avoid the pitfalls and keep the magic, two internationally respected experts on buying gems and jewelry put their inside knowledge to work for you in this easy-to-read, easy-to-use guide. It is filled with practical advice and is designed to make it easy for you to have all the information you need to buy gems and jewelry with confidence.

Recommended by consumer and jewelry trade reviewers around the world, it is already in use in over 100 countries and has been translated into Spanish, Arabic, Greek, Hungarian, Russian and Japanese. Over 400,000 copies are now in print and this revised, updated, expanded edition covers even more: buying and selling on the internet, dazzling new diamond cuts, recently discovered gems ... and new treatments and trickery to look out for. There are fascinating mythical and magical tidbits, and practical tips that could only come from an insider.

In simple, straightforward terms you'll learn about the four Cs and how to juggle them to get what you want, at the price you want to pay; what to look for, and look out for; all about gold and platinum, jewelry design, and some of the country's leading designers. You'll learn what questions to ask and what to get in writing, and even how to select the jeweler, appraiser, and insurer.

The authors leave no stone unturned to give you everything you need to know--whether you are a novice or a connoisseur. With Jewelry & Gems: The Buying Guide, you'll find the experience can be a joy, and the gems and jewelry you select a source of lasting pleasure

They are dark blue and are great especially for the price.
Size: 38W x 28L, Color: Tinted Dark Wash
They fit true to the size and the dark blue color is perfect...!!! I did wash them in hot water and put them in the dryer on low temperature before I wore them and they fit perfect. And I am 5'6" weight about 215lbs. I bought the 38 waste and 28 length and athletic fit stretch and they do stretch and I absolutely love them...!!!

Great jeans, waist is too high
Size: 40W x 30L, Color: Tinted Light Wash
These pants, so far, have been well made and are almost identical to Levi's 541 style jeans. They have almost the exact same fit and are comfortable. There is only one detractor, the waist is about an inch and a half too high. I compared it to my 541's and that is the only difference. I am glad I know about this now. Other than the waist height, I would absolutely buy these again.

Ready for the flood
Size: 35W x 28L, Color: Tinted Light Wash
Ordered 35w 28l in the Jeans. I received jeans that were much too short. The waist was correct but the length was three inches shorter than I wanted
