About this product

Product Information

The breadth of the industry is represented by different types of costume jewelry - defined as fashion jewelry - both domestic and foreign. It provides comprehensive information on a broad range of jewelry, emphasizing the more common, rather than the unique and rare, types of jewelry which most collectors are likely to encounter in the market place. Dealers as well as collectors will enjoy the more than 2,200 pieces featured in full color, and appreciate the wealth of information provided. The author explains the ever-changing market, value scales, and investment tips, as well as hints on cleaning, repairing, displaying, and storing jewelry. This beautiful, full-color book will be a welcome addition to all collectors' libraries. 2006 values.

Oh my goodness, I couldn't possibly be happier with my purchase! This seller has excellent communication (I sent a request for pictures of a different item and they replied within 6 hrs and were SO helpful and thorough), shipping was lightening fast, it was packaged well, and the product is FAR better than advertised. It is in like new condition! Such a pleasant surprise. I HIGHLY recommend this seller. 5 star transaction.

Almost perfect. They sent it out and I got it very quickly. Well packaged. Excellent price. They do good work as a seller. Every disc was clear of issues and played perfectly. Very happy overall. Only 1 disc was missing, but it was only the first 4 episodes so I'm happy, didn't bother contacting the seller because It's not a problem so they might be surprised to see that in the review, beyond that everything was great.

    COLORED PAGES!!!!

    I have bought a number of jewelry collector books and this book by far is the best. It is informative and easy to understand. My favorite part it's all in color every single image is in great vivid color. I will be looking for more like this.

  • A Costume Jewelry Manufaturer Dictionary

    Though this book has a great many lovely photos and information on a lot of companies which aren't included in other such books, I think it failed in that the backs of the pieces are not shown. True, this is a failing of a great many such books, but it is an important failing. If more books showed the backs of jewelry pieces, buyers and sellers would be able to recognize pieces better. Otherwise, this is a good sort of dictionary type book in that it shows manufacturer, as small description and a few pieces.

  • Exceptional and Informative

    Excellent pictures display the explanations of each Jewelry piece. There are many pieces of Jewelry in this Book that I have bought and sold, not knowing values and the stories behind them. I enjoyed reading about the factors that influence market prices, such as rarity, design, and demand. There is only one thing that bothered me while trying to associate the readings with the pictures. The pictures were photographed on a black background and some were very hard to see and appreciate.
