Excellent Book For Collectors ... Packaging Not So Good
The author of this book, Marcia "Sparkles" Brown is no longer with us, but her work is a testament to her dedication to, and love of Costume Jewelry. Full of large color photographs you feel as if you are on a journey walking among some of the most beautiful pieces of costume jewelry a person can find. Her choice of designers to talk about is excellent! There are at least three designers that little to no information is available on the internet and this information is paramount when you work in the Vintage Jewelry industry. I highly recommend this book to buyers and sellers alike.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
