Is this a must have book? Yes. Since the internet has made the world our next door neighbors
the book has become a great resource to have.  


Overall Comments: Ginger has done a fantastic job on this book. Once you start reading it, Ginger’s style pulls you right in and you what to read more. The book is really a good read.

Ginger has made it a point to cover all the different materials used in European jewelry
and presented these materials and styles with some very colorful pictures from both her own collection and others.

I have tried to get Ginger to adopt me, but have not had any luck yet....LOL
