Book Description
The much anticipated sequel to Collecting Costume Jewelry 101 is finally here! Collecting Costume Jewelry 202 will take students through another phase of jewelry collecting - the basics of dating jewelry, 1935 - 1980. This beautiful and informative volume simplifies the complex process of dating vintage costume jewelry into six easy-to-understand methods. Over 650 colorful photographs of vintage jewelry illustrate these methods. Beginning and experienced collectors will appreciate the large reference section featuring dozens of well-researched charts cataloging over 4000 design patent numbers and over 550 carefully chosen original patent illustrations. More than 160 intriguing and attractive vintage advertisements are scattered throughout the text. To round out this valuable reference, several useful appendices archive pertinent data needed to date costume jewelry designs in a clear, easy-to-reference format.
Reader Reviews
This book is fantastic! I am an experienced collector and this book is full of information on learning how to date vintage costume jewelry. I was totally impressed by the large sections on Coro & Trifari since I have many pieces from these designers from the 1930's - 1950's, and it was wonderful to be able to see actual patents, ads, and dating techniques. Along with the many other designers that she covered was just adding icing on the cake. I thought Ms. Carroll out did herself with her first book "Collecting Costume Jewelry 101" but this one continues to show her love, dedication and hard work on providing collectors with beautiful photos and extremely valuable information. I have already purchased many copies as Christmas gifts and hope she will continue to share her wealth of knowledge with us on this subject.
