PEARL BUYING GUIDE, By RENEE NEWMAN GG

June 15th, 2010

The PEARL BUYING GUIDE (updated 5th edition) has hit the book shelves. We are honored that the author Renee Newman GG has chosen to use so many of our photos (and those from Pacific Pearls as well!), and consulted with us about many developments in the world of pearls

It is a wonderful rundown of what can be a dizzying subject for novices and those looking to learn the basics about pearls of every variety. We have found these small and easy to read and navigate books a wonderful tool in educating (or distracting) husbands while their wives shop for pearls. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to expand their library or have a portable guide to recognizing different sorts of pearls and making educated decisions.

Thank you Renee, for all your diligent research and continued respect for this our favorite gem!
I hope some of you will buy this book not only in support of Renee, but in support of pearl education in general!
