3.0 out of 5 stars
good but not the ultimate guide,
By Debret Dawson (Kelowna, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Collecting Costume Jewelry 202 2nd Edition (Paperback)
A great resource but centered too much for my liking on Coro and main jewelry companies, I wanted more general info about collecting vintage jewelry, identification, materials used, cleaning and usefull collecting info. This is my first book like this ,was hoping it would do but I see I will need more to gain the education I need. There seemed to be an awful lot designated to brooches as well, where I am more interested in necklaces, so will seek out another guide. It is an impressive large , heavy book, just not was I was hoping for.

By K. Shreve - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Collecting Costume Jewelry 202 2nd Edition (Paperback)
This book is an instant reference - I know I will go back to it over and over again! The patent drawings are so beautifully organized I know I will be able to easily find matching patents for my jewelry. I love the Collecting Costume Jewelry series!

Wow - They keep getting better!,
By Deborah J. Reece - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Collecting Costume Jewelry 202 2nd Edition (Paperback)
If you have bought the series of Julia Carroll's books, "Collecting Costume Jewelry 101, 202 and 303," you come to think after each book, this is her BEST one yet! She then writes ANOTHER wonderful book that is filled with more new information on designers, stunning photos of beautiful costume jewelry, and fills the pages with fabulous vintage ads and clear detailed drawings of design patents. One thing about Julia's books that amaze me is the wealth of knowledge she provides on many of the designers by personal interviews with family members, previous employees, and other knowledgeable people that were involved in the jewelry making business. She always takes extra steps to provide collectors with information that not only will help them learn more about collecting, but gives the pieces they already have in their collections a special meaning. It is wonderful to see an actual patent of one of your favorite pieces, the date & name of the designer, and possibly a jewelry ad featuring that piece. Julia, I am one of your biggest fans and your books will always hold a special place in the very front of my jewelry library.
