This is the book that gets to the essentials have to have know-how of vintage costume jewellery. The diverse parts such as the stones and cabochons that can be invaluable in dating and hardware clues that can be missed. Cameos, rhinestones, signed jewellery and images of the signatures, art glass, pin backs and so substantially much more. I look at this book and usually discover some thing that I have not noticed in advance of. One particular of my most useful books in terms of information. Also has a area of designers which include Jonette Jewellery Co (JJ) that are not always located in other books. US book with $ price guides (2010)
Julia Carroll has produced other books such as Costume Jewellery 101 and 202 in this significant. Both books are very well worth obtaining for reference as well.
eight. Baubles, Buttons and Beads: The Heritage of Bohemia by Sibelle Jargstorf (ISBN -88740-467-7)
This is one more gem of a book as we had an abundance of vintage jewellery imported into this nation from Bohemia up till the 2nd Globe War and then in smaller sized quantities soon after. Still readily available to discover and acquire but rates are rising. Sections on buttons, filigree, glass beads, plastic and glass cameos, 1930s, enamel and more importantly the historical past. Following reading this book it has aided me date and identify cameos, filigree brooches and brightly coloured rhinestone jewellery of the 1920s and 30s. Hand finished and machine made dress clips and the different finishes applied.
Sibylle Jargstorf has made other books on beads and glass that are invaluable.
9. Cameos: A Pocket Guide by Monica Lynn Clements and Patricia Rosser Clements (ISBN -7643-1728-eight)
Despite the fact that there are many books on cameos, this modest packet guide is total of cameos in components other than shell. Shell is the most collected cameo jewellery kind but for me it did not have an appeal. I wanted to know more about the glass, plastic, metal and gemstone cameos that I was acquiring. How to identify the materials utilised and when were they produced. This book has an abundance of pictures covering a large volume of cameos in these components and more importantly recognizable for the UK industry. US book with $ value manual (2003) For additional in depth facts on cameo jewellery then acquire any of the editions of Cameos: Old and New by Anna M Miller.
ten. Victorian Jewellery by Margaret Flowers (No ISBN)
Not a book on vintage but antique jewellery that is now out of print but still obtainable in various editions. Very first published in 1951 but effectively worth reading. Insight into the Victorian influences and noticed in revival pieces. Birmingham's role in mass created jewellery. This book is often sited in later on books as being influential. Has the Victorian period in three elements and just about every section has the most utilized motifs of that period. Did make me laugh at the sheer snobbish mindset of the author at instances but very well really worth studying. Few photographs and largely in black and white that are not that clear.
