Reader Reviews
This is one of the most fun vintage costume jewelry books you can have in your reference library. It features 1,053 full color clear, concise photos, including some with back views of a selection of the jewelry, SO important in learning about vintage costume jewelry. Claudette, Volupte' and Calvaire get extensive coverage, something no other book in this category has ever covered. Many other companies are included, such as Juliana, Les Bernard, Mazer Bros., Hattie Carnegie and Hobe' and more. Values on the jewelry pictured go from $10.00 to $2,000.00 so there is something here to please every collector or dealer. One chapter features 35 of the best current websites offering vintage costume jewelry, including some with extensive reference materials such as ads and patent information. There is a chapter featuring some contemporary jewelry sure to become future sought after vintage jewelry. The chapter with vintage ads shows some that have not been publicly seen since they first appeared in the 1940's or 1950's. I know you will love it and be glad you added it to your reference library.
