Newly revised, and completely updated, How to Buy a Diamond is the only book on the market to include wholesalers' secret pricing charts that you, the public, never get to see! The charts are broken down by carat, clarity and color-including the various grades of color, for the first time ever.
This valuable resource gives the information you need to get a stone that won't leave you feeling cheated.
Excellent book for any man trying to find the best value diamond for his future fiance. The author helps the buyer focus on what is important and which clarity and color grades maintain the best value. Every major characteristic about a diamond is discussed and even some words of wisdom, most of which is worth noting.
I felt inadequate about my knowledge of diamonds when I was in a diamond store. Got this book to educate myself. Now I feel more adequate. Theoretically at least, no idea if I'll be able to apply this knowledge in real life.
