About The Author
S. Sylvia Henzel's collecting interests began when a friend introduced her to the fascinating hobby of button collecting. After several years of collecting and researching buttons, she turned to collecting old costume jewelry. As her knowledge expanded, her collection grew. Henzel is the author of numerous other collectible costume jewelry books. She lives in Birmingham, Alabama.
Reader Reviews
This is such a useless guide to collecting costume jewelry that it astounds me that this book is still being published. I do applaud the fact that the photos are in full color. However, the illustrated pieces are mediocre and totally uninteresting examples considering the extraordinary range of vintage costume jewelry that has been produced over the years. Unlike most of the books on the subject, this one lacks any substantive information on the history and designers of costume jewelry. Save your money, and buy any of the higher-rated collecting guides to vintage costume jewelry.
