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.
