“This publication of The Price Guide to Jewellery has been eagerly awaited since the first Price Guide came out in 1968, as precious stones and metal have universal appeal.  Jewellery is usually thought of as being very expensive and beyond the normal pocket, but here in this beautifully illustrated book, as in the other Price guides, the author has described jewels from all periods and covering prices from £5 to £25,000.  There is also an enormous amount of background knowledge to the subject, which makes interesting and informative reading.  This book, therefore, has genuine appeal to both collectors and dealers.”
