I like the way this is laid out, a basic introduction to the subject, I would use this as a quick reference. It has a variety of stones and metals in both their unfinished and finished state. (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

The mysterious appeal of gemstones, their exquisite colors and the plays of light within them, would alone have made them doubly precious to many, but their rarity, hardness, and durability have made them doubly valuable.
