The Modern Guide to Vintage Jewellery takes the reader on a tour from the 1930s through to the early 1980s, scouting out the most desirable, collectible and enduring styles of the time. Beginning the tour with the later part of the Art Deco period, the book then guides the reader through the three periods of Retro jewelry during prewar, wartime and post-war optimism. Then we're off to the cocktail suburban lifestyle of the '50s, the rebellious '60s, the glitter and glamor of the '70s disco era, and the new 'career-woman' style of the '80s. On our journey, we visit stars from Hollywood's Golden Era and beyond, and the renowned jewelers who designed for them and became legends in their own right. Whether you are a novice or consummate collector, a starter vintage dealer, shop owner, burgeoning jewelry historian or student of jewelry making, this book is a must-read for all enthusiasts and collectors of vintage jewelry. The Modern Guide to Vintage Jewellery will show you how to identify the most popular gemstones, materials, styles and collectible pieces in the market today, as well as divulging invaluable information from dealers and experts.
