Book Description
"Collecting antique jewelry can bring you endless hours of enjoyment, for it not only satisfies a love of days gone by but also brings a yearning to learn more about other times and places. The collector shows a desire to be unique in setting, rather than following, fashion trends." Roseann Ettinger's book reads like a treasure huntÐin six chapters, she takes the reader on a tour of antique jewelry from the 1840s to the 1940s, covering the Victorian era and late nineteenth-century discipline through to Art Nouveau, Transitional, and Art Deco. Fascinating details on various pieces, their origins, and their makers make the jewelry come alive.Beautifully arranged full-color photographs of cameos, hair combs, hat pins, necklaces, buckles, chokers, lockets, and many other pieces handsomely complement the text. Popular Jewelry aids the reader in identifying period jewelry and the materials used in their manufacture. It also provides invaluable information for the novice collector who cannot always tell a genuine antique from a copy. The effects of history, culture, and materials on jewelry-and the effects of jewelry on culture-are intricately interwoven. A price guide and index are included. , 500 color photos, 8 1/2'' x 11'', Price Guide, Index
Reader Reviews
This book is important to dating old jewelry because it is divided into "periods" of popular jewelry with lots of photographs to help you identify the age of a piece. It's like a little timeline. Chances are you have seen the jewelry in this book and you can learn about the era and the wearer...
