    "I would be less than honest if I didn't admit I often find the guides by Antoinette Matlins too involved for casual reading. However, they are a must have for those of us who truly want to learn about jewelry. As far as I can tell, this book is out-of-print and not available anywhere else, so once again JTV does us a service by making it availabe. Incidentally, if you appreciate excellently written reviews as much as I do, check out what mom1 and Marie have to say."

    "I refer to this pearl guide often - especially when teaching my daughters how to buy, select and care for pearls (last thing on, first thing off). This book includes stories about pearls, how pearls are created, how to select quality pearls, how to care for pearls, what to ask when buying pearls, etc. This book also has price guides & charts. I really appreciate the section on Kokichi Mikimoto - yeah for cultured pearls!"

    "I bought this book first and then followed up with the other one. This book has a tremendous amount of history and lore and custom and styles throughout the known history of pearls. I refer to this book on a regular basis and keep finding things that I missed the first read through and the second and third. I am saying that there is an incredible amount of information in this book. There are beautiful pictures and illustrations and examples in this book also."
