[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4606203, member: 2844"]So true. I am also an armchair buyer, but on a very small budget. Doesn't matter, knowledge and a good eye help a lot in finding hidden gems. Do you have "Juwelen en mensen" by M.H. Gans? I can recommend it. Although its main focus is on the jewels of the Dutch and other aristocracy between 1400 and 1900, it is a great study of styles, developments and makers as well. And he expands on European jewellery fashions and interactions of designers. It is one of those Dutch language must-have books. I see there is one on Bol at the moment, but I got mine for a little less than their price. Shop around or buy that one, it is certainly worth the money. I haven't found "Tover van edelstenen" yet, only a reference to it, but it is on my list.;)[/QUOTE]
