I have not read too many book on gems still, but two of the books I like the most so far is:
Richard W Wise´s "Secrets of the Gem Trade, The Connoisseur's Guide to Precious Gemstones" Great book! Richard W Hugh´s "Ruby & Sapphire, a collectors guide" (2014) Lots of great photos!
I wish I could get my hands on Richard W Hugh´s "Ruby & Sapphire" from 1997, but they are only available on the second hand market for lots and lots of dollar as far as I know
I want to know about the gemstone , so that i can understand about the merit and demerit of gemstone beads , Please suggest me a book which is more useful to now about gemstone beads. Now a days gemstone beads passion is increasing day by day in between peoples, and they want queries to know about more gemstone .
Today gemstone are making use for jewelry also, and it becoming a mean for jewelry. Please suggest me which book is more effective to learn about gemstone.
