Great Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I checked this book out at the library first. Great reference on cleaning and caring for vintage jewelry, how to determine age of jewelry. And a good list of designers and their trademarks to look for, very helpful info. Also lists alot of dealers that you can purchase items from. Black and white, so not a lot of great pics of jewelry if that is what you are looking for. I decided to buy it for my collection and reference.
3rd Edition, (black & white but Extensive) very helpful

This seems to be an excellent overview of costume jewelry. The books content includes not only hundreds of Black & white example photos but manufacturing/designer marks and history as well estimates on pricing and advice on spotting fakes. This book is probably your best bet if you are only going to get one because of how much ground it covers.

An exceptional book on vintage costume jewelry. Expert advice on care techniques, dating jewelry and information on noted designers. Gorgeous examples of representative jewelry. I am both a collector and seller of vintage jewelry, Harrice's books are my bibles and accompany me wherever I go on jewelry haunts. I consider this book a must have for the beginner through the experienced collector to familiarize them with not only vintage cosutme jewelry but how to provide many years of enjoyment from your jewelry by taking expert care. I cannot rate Ms. Miller's book highly enough. This is my 3d book by Harrice Miller.
