I was so pleasantly surprised to find a costume jewelry book with many wonderful photos and first-hand experiences related to purchasing vintage costume jewelry. Further, the author has tips on spotting fakes, to cleaning jewelry, to buying/selling. The author sourced many different jewelry designers/manufactures and time periods. This is very appealing since not every tastes/preferences are similiar. My only criticism that the chapters should have been longer since I could look/read a informative book like this all day.
great resource book. author very knowledgeable and great close up photos of a lot of amazing vintage and antique pieces
