Book Description
Personal glimpses of that elite core of artists responsible for establishing the costume jewelry industry in the United States. Hundreds of color photographs of their creations illustrate the expertise in jewelry design and manufacture of such masters as Chanel, Dior, Joseff, Haskell, Boucher, Lane, Trifari, and many more. The current values of the pieces have been updated and added to the captions for easy reference.
About The Author
From Avon, Connecticut, Joanne Ball is a dealer in vintage accessories.
Reader Reviews
Joanne's book is not exactly a research project, designed for someone who wants to know about costume jewelry designers, even though the book's title might think lead you to think that. Joanne is a collector and dealer of costume jewelry. This book is almost exclusively a catalog of her personal collection. She includes a price list for the items pictured. A very brief explanation accompanies the photographs, usually little more than an identification of the manufacturer. There is no index and a too-brief bibliography. Better books on costume jewelry are out there. For instance, try Vivienne Becker's Fabulous Costume Jewelry : History of Fantasy and Fashion in Jewels (1997).
