Description
This guide was first published in 1969 as a replacement for "The Retail Jeweller's Handbook" and is a source of product knowledge for both jewellers and students taking the National Association of Goldsmiths examinations. This edition has been reworked to include the retail jewellers that have introduced gift, departments and stock pottery and glassware. It also includes developments in gemmology - the increasing variety of synthetic gems and synthetic stimulants, and the increase in gem enhancement.
