Book Description
Many are drawn to the artistic construction and beauty of costume jewelry, but don't know enough about it to start a collection. One of the country's leading experts on jewelry collecting provides this new guide as a roadmap for starting collections. Author Marion Cohen focuses on four distinctive and extremely popular categories of costume jewelry: multipurpose jewelry, clips, motion jewelry, and figural jewelry.
A detailed introductory section explores all aspects of costume jewelry--what it is, why collect it, and where to find it, and each of the four major sections introduces collectors to the variations of costume jewelry. With hundreds of listings and photographs, collectors will quickly and confidently identify pieces to add to their collections; plus, get information on caring for collectible pieces and identifying reproductions.
* Includes information on the what, why, and where of collecting costume jewelry * An indispensable tool for beginning collectors * Features multipurpose jewelry, clips, motion jewelry, and figural jewelry

Reader Reviews
I have about 40 books on jewelry and this is the absolute worst one I have ever seen.........what a waste of money! Half of the pictures are so out of focus that you cannot see any details on the jewelry, most pictures are in black and white, there are no dates, and any information in this book you can find in almost any other book on costume jewelry. I wouldn't advise that anyone, even beginners to collecting, spend their money on this book.........there are too many good books on the subject! Buy any other book rather than this one.
