Product Description

Product Description

Compiled by a leading jewelry authority, this beautiful book features over 400 pieces in color with a comprehensive text. An exciting publication representing over 25 different collections. 2001 values. AUTHORBIO: Lillian Baker was an author for more than four decades. Her first book on Hatpins & Hatpin Holders in 1976 was the first and only worldwide definitive book on the subject. She also authored 100 Years of Collectible Jewelry, Plastic Jewelry of the 20th Century, Fifty Years of Collectible Fashion Jewelry, Art Nouveau & Art Deco Jewelry, and Creative & Collectible Miniatures. REVIEW: A reader from Frederick, MD says, "I read 'No Dragons On My Quilt' to my daughter about 12 years ago after borrowing it from a library. Of course we ordered our very own copy. Back then we got it in hardback. Our whole family loves the book so much that we tried to order an extra copy for my son a few years ago. We wanted copies for each child to be passed down to their own kids when they were grown. (It's that kind of book.)"

5.0 out of 5 stars The inside to vintage fashion jewelry collectibles, April 4 2000
By 
This review is from: Fifty Years of Collectible Fashion Jewelry 1925-1975 (Hardcover)
This book was very informative. It gave the information I needed about some collectible jewelry I am accumulating. It gives a more in-depth history of the manufacturing of many collectible brands than other books I have seen. I would highly recommend this book for vintage jewelry collectors.

This review is from: Fifty Years of Collectible Fashion Jewelry 1925-1975 (Hardcover)
I started collecting vintage jewelry about five years ago and I had no idea what I was doing. This book really helped me identify a variety of items and their value. Pamela D. Blair, Author The Next Fifty Years: A Guide for Women at Mid-Life And Beyond

4.0 out of 5 stars Name recognition,craft idea designs,Review Mistreglo,, Aug 4 2007
By Mistreglo "mistreglo" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fifty Years of Collectible Fashion Jewelry 1925-1975 (Hardcover)
The value in this book is definitely for the beginner jewelry collector. Many jeweler names are mentioned, with colored pictures of some of their designs. This book is a good springboard for further detailed research by jeweler name recognition. The book also holds value for crafters, there are many excellent colored photographs, of unique designs. The book I purchased did have updated prices to 2001. I could not use this book to value any of my pieces except one, and that was worth the price of the book, because I undervalued the beads, shown in the piece.
I would not overpay for this book, at a good deal, add this book to your order. Probably best as a library reference book. Quick read. Value is in jeweler name recognition, list, and for jeweler craft ideas.
I have many vintage family pieces that I have no information on identifying from this book, and I don't think this book would aid me in collecting either. I think the prices shown are rather low.
