An Affordable Alternative to its Big Brother "Collecting and Classifying Coloured Diamonds"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book is affectively an extract from Collecting and Classifying Coloured Diamonds by the same author, concentrating just on the collection itself, and as such is an affordable alternative. We bought both!
Absolutely stunning photos and easy-to-read text

Mr. Hofer's book is wonderful to read or actually wonderful to look at. The photos are absolutely stunning and the text of this catalogue is fairly easy to read (compared to his masterpiece "Collecting and Classifying Coloured Diamonds"). The so-called "common names" for the coloured diamonds are sometimes quite funny and I wonder whether they are recognised the gemworld over. But the book/catalogue is superbly written and a big compliment to the photographer, who has done a fantastic job! (it explains in great detail how the diamonds were photographed). All in all, a gem of a book!!!!
