Reader Reviews
I think that this author had a lot of good information, but needed better help from an editor in organizing and presenting it. The first section is disorganized and hard to follow. It was intended to cover the "inspirational forces" for Art Nouveau and Art Deco jewelry (people, places, ideas, and events) but the way it was presented made the information not very valuable, at least to me. One thing I learned---while I knew that "nouveau" meant new, I learned that "deco" meant "young. Section 2 had some wonderful color plates of pieces of jewelry and the third section had lists of designs, motifs, and materials for "new art" jewelry. Section 4 had "thumbnail sketches" of jewelers, jewelry designers/makers, manufacturers and retailers. The last section was an interesting glossary of jewelry terms and types. I especially enjoyed the information about hallmarks, enamel, combs, hatpins, and purses (mesh and beaded).
