You need the right tools to find the real bargains. In evaluating the worth of jewelry pieces and other antiques the tools of the trade are centered around knowledge of the product. Oftentimes this includes honing our senses such as sight to view gems, smell to find chemical makeup of a piece as in bakelite, touch to disclose any chips, and sometimes taste to ascertain glass from plastic beads by rubbing them against your teeth.
