Book Description
Queen Victoria of Great Britain made a tremendous impact on
the world, so much so that the era of her reign was given her
name. Items from the Victorian period have a reputation for
beauty and elegance, which is why they are such popular
collectibles. This one-of-a-kind reference covers the beautiful
jewelry of the Victorian Age, from 1837 to 1901.
Gemologist C. Jeanenne Bell offers collectors this fascinating
all-color exploration of the illustrious age and the elegant
jewelry that it produced. Decade by decade, Bell reveals how
the fashion of the time influenced the style of jewelry, and
how innovations in manufacturing affected jewelry production.
Jewelry listings provide current marketplace values, and also
cover American and French jewelry styles from the time. Over
1,000 color pictures and illustrations convey the true beauty
of Victorian era jewelry.
Reader Reviews
Yet another book by prolific jewellery writer C. Jeanenne Bell. In this book, Bell deals exclusively with Victorian jewellery, that is jewellery produced in England, America and France during the period from 1837 to 1901. This book is primarily a catalogue of Victorian jewellery, with full color photos and prices at the time of publication, interspersed with text that attempts to place the jewellery in a historical context with respect to events and fashions. Unlike some books, which only show the jewelley of royalty, this book shows items which would suit a range of budgets. This book is primarily aimed at dealers and those wishing to collect jewellery from the Victorian era. However, with over 700 full colour photos (according to the back cover), this is also a great coffee table book for those wanting to look at beautiful things and dream.
