Review: As a professional gemologist, this book plays an extremely important role in helping to educate my clients in the proper care of their gems and jewelry. It is beautifully illustrated, thorough in its research and mastery of the subject, and well written.

Summary: Gem Care excellent overview
Review: As a teacher of Gemology, I recommend this well written and researched book on gem care to all my students.The photographs, as usual in Mr. Wards books, are spectacular. Gem Care should be in everyone's collection and read for care and treatment of the jewelry and gem specimens in the reader's possession. This book is a must have.

Summary: Not worth [the price]
Review: I was VERY disappointed with this gem-care book. It has nice pictures, but contains very little information about gem-care that isn't obvious already. The book does not address any of the more unusual gems and stones either. Do not buy this book! It's a waste of [money].
