Vintage pearl books

[JerseyPearl]

I actually recently found some wonderful pearl books at the Strand in NYC. One from an exhibition at the Natural History Museum/Field Museum Pearls: A Natural History It contains some fantastic references to pearls throughout history, although published in 2001 hardly makes it vintage, but it does have a fabulous bibliography.

And if I may also say Richard, I just recently purchased your second edition and thoroughly enjoyed reading it cover to cover! A wonderful book for anyone interested in gems!

I also recently devoured the new edition of Secrets of the Gem Trade. Great book.
