The old jeweler’s guide to spotting fakes & reading hallmarks
A jeweler’s eye is not magic. It is a handful of tests, a few tiny stamps and the patience to look closely. This volume teaches you the checks old jewelers did in seconds at the counter, so no buyer, seller or pawn shop can fool you again.
