More About This Title Diamonds
English
A well-illustrated book dedicated to how to choose, evaluate, and purchase the right diamond in the modern world.
There is a large amount of literature devoted to diamonds. What distinguishes this particular book from all the others? Here I tried to gather everything that I know myself about these precious stones today. The diamond industry is constantly changing. Now, synthetic diamonds in jewelry are no longer fiction, and colorless stones are no longer a good investment. In addition, since I am Russian, there is some specificity that relates to the jewelry market of Russia, which is very different from the rest of the world.
You find there the history of diamonds, methods of their evaluation and falsification. How to find out that a diamond is genuine and truly precious? I will tell about it. Even lovers of mysticism and lithotherapy will not go unheeded, although I personally am skeptical about everything that goes beyond the limits of traditional science.
