Fun factual tidbits are presented in a witty, conversational style, and lively narratives explore each pieces history.

The Modern Guide to Antique Jewellery will reveal what to look for and where to locate rare finds, as well as how the experts score the pieces that decorate the fingers, ears, necks and wrists of the collector.
