- Summary:
- Jewelry has always been an appreciated art form, a necessary adornment--a defining fashionable element in uniform wardrobe dressing. Originally created to mimic genuine jewelry worn by the upper class, a fad item able to be affordably renewed with each season, a new found appreciation for costume jewelry is emerging as a work of art--brilliant, beautiful, and highly collectible. A must-have for collectors and fashion lovers, this book showcases the beautiful, elegant, whimsical, and figural of costume jewelry--all in full-color. Gorgeous pins, necklaces, brooches, bracelets and bangles, earrings, and rings, both signed and unsigned treasures are displayed in more than 500 breathtaking photographs.
