Reviews" Vintage Jewelry Design examines jewelry ornamentation throughout the ages starting with the 1890s up to current jewelry trends. The focus of this book is for jewelry collectors and jewelry lovers in general. If you have wanted to learn more about jewelry and its history, or have thought of collecting a certain period of jewelry, then this is an excellent guide. The text is very detailed throughout and full of photos that show jewelry pieces from each decade discussed. It is also a good resource for getting design ideas that you can combine with your own signature jewelry pieces." - About.com: Jewelry Making "The heart of Vintage Jewelry Design is organized by decade (although the first and last cover more than one decade) with wonderfully inviting titles like "Divinely Decadent," "F for Fake," and "The Power and the Glory." Each chapter is then further divided into sections on everything from a prevailing style of the decade, a favorite gem, a type of adornment, a designer. Unlike the history books of our youth, this is not parchment-dry reading. The amazing photographs are accompanied by Cox's interesting, well-written, and well-thought-out prose. Vintage Jewelry Design is an informative, fascinating, and rewarding read. I know its intended audience is the collector and wearer of jewelry, but I am positive that this book is equally (if not more) valuable for the designers amongst us, designers of strung and beadwoven creations alike. The book can provide context for our own creations." - Sand Fibers blog, "You must get this gorgeous book.
