Diamond Handbook: How to Identify & Evaluate Diamonds
A chapter on how to distinguish transparent and black diamond imitations from real natural diamonds has been added. The chapter on synthetic diamonds has eleven new pages, seven of which are photo pages that help trade members identify HPHT and CVD-grown diamonds with magnification, fluorescence and crossed Polaroid filters. Photos and information have been updated in the chapters on fancy color diamonds, diamond fluorescence, diamond treatments, recutting diamonds and antique cuts & jewelry. As Gems & Gemology stated in their review of the previous edition, the Diamond Handbook is "an entire course on judging diamonds...useful to both the jewelry industry and consumers."
