Table of Contents
Jeanenne Bell - One of America's leading authorities on antique jewelry, will help you discover:
- How to find clues that tell you if a piece is costume jewelry with rhinestones, or fine jewelry set with gemstones
- How the "cut" of a stone can help you tell how old it is
- What the marks and numbers inside a ring or on a brooch or pendant mean
- What the terms gold, gold filled, gold plated, silver, silver-plated, and white metal tell about a piece
- How the back of a piece can help determine its age
- How to separate plastic from other plastic-looking materials such as amber and tortoise shell
- Easy tests to determine if your black beads, bracelets, brooches, or lockets are jet, bakelite, gutta percha, vulcanite, onyx, or glass
- How easy it is to use your basic tools-your eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and hands-to help solve the mysteries of a piece
