The Jewelers' Manual is a successor to the popular Jewelers' Pocket Reference Book, edited by Robert M. Shipley and published by the Gemological Institute of America in five editions, from 1947 through 1951. The present work is all new, differing in scope, purpose and format from the original publication; hence, the change of title. The purpose of the Manual is to offer a concise, comprehensive, accurate presentation of information and data pertaining to the major categories of merchandise in the jewelry industry and related trades. It is designed to provide an easy-to-use, authoritative reference for the busy jeweler in his daily activities, and to answer the multitude of questions asked by inquiring customers. It is particularly valuable as a means of orienting the salesperson who is new to the jewelry business. Liddicoat wrote the diamond, pearl and gem-testing sections, as well as a portion of the glossary, and acted in the capacity of supervising editor. Copeland shared the writing task and was responsible for the overall compilation and editing, including the required literary research, rewriting and coordination of text and illustrative material. Jeanne G. M. Martin prepared the layout and artwork, typed the final manuscript for the printer and assisted with the proofreading; she also took the photographs of diamond imperfections, cutting discrepancies and famous diamond replicas. We are indebted to many jewelry suppliers, manufacturers and trade associations for providing artwork and information for some of the tables and text; their contributions are acknowledged throughout the book.

Internal World of Gemstones: Documents from Space and Time

GUbelin, Eduard Josef

Eighteen years ago the first edition of "Internal World of Gemstones" by Edward Gubelin appeared on the market. This much-honored book - already a standard gemological work - has now found a sequel which deepens the knowledge of gemstones and their origins considerably. The "Photoatlas of Inclusions in Gemstones" is the joint achievement of the internationally leading gemmologists Edward Gubelin (Switzerland) and John Koivula (USA). On 532 pages, with over 1400 color illustrations (selected from over 30,000 photomicrographs by the two authors), this Photoatlas of Inclusions familiarizes the reader with the fascinating internal world of gemstones. Yet the touch of genius in the photomicrography not only serves the beauty and singularity of gemstones - it is also, above all, of comprehensive assistance in their evaluating identification. With the help of this book, gemmologists, jewelers and goldsmiths throughout the world - merely equipped with a pocket lens - will be able to correctly interpret the enchanting inclusion scenes and thus protect themselves from disappointment and financial loss. A mercantile use in the best sense is amalgamated in this volume with a high idealistic gain. The unrivalled artist "Nature" reveals to the observer her incredible wealth of color and form. Apart from being a triumph of photomicrography, this is an illustrated gemological textbook which appeals equally to scientists, jewelers and aesthetes from other provinces.
