I purchased this book as a Christmas present for my daughter who loves and designs jewelry.The photographs in the book are beautiful.It provides an interesting history of pearl farms and all that happens before we see pearls at a jewelry store.. "Beautiful Photos" according to OnlineShopper. The author is a native of South Africa and has studied pearls for many years and has been all over the world obtaining photos and information for this book. I particularly found the history of pearl farming in her book very interesting and educational, as well as the information listed about pearls found in caves and in old shipwrecks. The book is softcover with smooth pages and many color photos. Anyone who loves pearls or is interested in l. A must have book!
