Top 10 Contributor : 4 out of 5 For Pearl Lovers, March 28, 2008 share , Sunny Arizona Quality: 4 out of 5 Value: 4 out of 5 "I'm sorry to say that I haven't read this book. I'm not into pearls that much. I will give it to my granddaughter who loves pearls." 3 of 3 people found this review helpful. Share this Review: Number One Contributor : 5 out of 5 Pearls of wisdom, August 28, 2007 Mickey , Westchester, N.Y. Quality: 5 out of 5 Value: 5 out of 5 "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."

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!"

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."
