About this product

Product Information

Co-written by antiques expert, Judith Miller and costume jewelry specialist, John Wainwright, DK Collector's Guides: Costume Jewelry traces the history of costume jewelry from ancient times to the present day. It also explains how social and economic developments, changing fashions, new materials, and manufacturing techniques, as well as the haute couture houses of the 1940s and '50s have influenced and inspired the industry. Over 1,500 collectible pieces are presented in full-color, in a catalog-style layout, with prices and sizes clearly displayed below each one. There are profiles of 20 major international designers and factories, including Joseff of Hollywood, Trifari, Miriam Haskell, and Christian Dior. In addition, pieces by 80 lesser-known names are displayed and priced, and there is a gallery of unsigned collectible pieces. Contextual notes explain the features that make the pieces desirable, and there are tips on what to look out for when buying. "Hot" collecting fields, such as Bakelite and Christmas Tree pins, are featured throughout. The book also includes a glossary of materials, a list of designer's and maker's marks, and a directory of specialized dealers. Book jacket.

    Wonderful experience with this vendor from questions asked before I purchased to delivery of product. Can't say enough about how well these dishes were wrapped; I'm always apprehensive about having breakables shipped but no worries here...nicely wrapped and packaged. Dishes much prettier than I expected and show very little wear....makes me think they were on display in a hutch for the last 40 or 50 years and rare!y used. A good deal!!!

    This DK book format is quick and pretty, gets to the point if you are a collector and want to know values of jewelry, even if it is a little out of date.

    Signed Vintage Jewelry

    If you strictly want to learn about "signed" vintage jewely. then this book is for you. I wanted information on "unsigned" pieces. Therefore, this book was not very helpful for me. It is a beautiful book and contains some excellent history on jewelry.
