    Synopsis
    Organized chronologically starting with the Victorian era, this guide includes the Arts and Crafts Movement, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and the 1960s Space Age. It features popular designers such as Eisenberg, Trifari, Boucher, Joseff, Mazer, Haskell, Schiaparelli, Dior, Chanel, Hobe and Ken Lane. Included in the text are 54 two-page colour spreads in which pairs of related objects are analyzed, compared and evaluated with the object of answering the question of why one item is more valuable that the other. The factors involved may include age, rarity, intricacy of design, maker, marks and provenance and the author hones in on salient value features. Additional text on history, material and manufacturers is also featured. Also covered are topics such as understanding the market and care and repair., Once considered the gaudy stepchild of "real" jewelry, costume jewelry is enjoying explosive growth in popularity and respect among collectors. This illustrated guide uses 70 color photographs and expert appraisal techniques to explain why similar-appearing pieces can have markedly different values, and provides professional advice for finding and buying affordable pieces that should appreciate over time. The jewelry ranges from Celtic-inspired Victorian era brooches through the innovative Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco movements, and continuing onto the big-flash, big-attitude styles of the 1980s. Potential auction values for representative and signature pieces are provided, along with concise histories for many of the great designers, such as Trifari, Ken Layne, Haskell, and Chanel, as well as the major schools.

      Book is as described and arrived quickly. It was packaged in a manilla envelope with no padding, but thankfully the delivery people were careful with it and it arrived in good condition. Wouldn’t buy again from this seller though, due to the packaging.
