You are eager to gain knowledge and want to learn more about the vintage clothing jewellery in your collection. But if you live in the UK which book to buy?
There are hundreds of reference books to choose from, most of which are written in the United States by authors in the United States. What is the specific situation of ours in the UK?
Therefore, there are 12 brief guides to get a good understanding of the Victorian era to the 1980s and beyond. There are actually more than 12 books here, because some authors have written more than one useful book.
This guide should cover generally unsigned works and some signed jewellery. However, with the exception of Wilson and Butler, there are no books for large-scale production of signature clothing jewellery made by British companies or produced for the UK market.
1. Costume Jewelry: Caroline Behr [Miller' s] Collector's Guide [ISBN 1-84000-373-1]
From the Victorian era, decorative arts, arts and crafts, the 1950s, the Czech Republic, Austria and some designers started a good place for general views and timelines. Easy to read and have great photos. Handbag size, great for reading on the train
2. Vintage Costume Jewelry: Carol Tanenbaum's passion for fabulous fakes [ISBN 1-85149-511-8]
Must have purchased and have a timeline for extended information. Includes Art Nouveau, Birmingham Silver, Machines, Bakelite and Plastics introductions and vocabulary. Lots of good photos, but no backs [one must be identified, but rarely included in any book]
3. Tips for collecting jewelry: How to buy more at a lower price! Author: Leigh Leshner [ISBN 0-89689-180-1]
Again is a timeline and historical view, but a book of absolute gems, as it has a back and mechanism or discovery, which is essential for dating jewelry. This book looks at style and materials through specific photos. Prom jewelry, art plastic, vintage, manufacturing methods, Scandinavian, embossed. Mainly short information, but very good manual guide. American books, price guide [2005]. Another great book that can be read on a bus or train.
4. Jewelry and Jewelry Clare Phillips [V&A] [ISBN 978-1-85177-535-4] or Jewelry: The Art Deco Library is edited by Janet Swarbrick [ISBN 1-902328-13-2]
It is impossible to decide which UK books provide the most information. Have I included both?
Jewelry and jewellery contain materials, styles, manufacturing and distribution. Photographs of museums and works. Includes silver crepe, Berlin iron, pearls, glass and enamel. Believe in jewelry, cut steel, mourn and love jewellery, not just jets or swamp oak. Lalique, Ashbee, Liberty Cymric, Wilson, Gaskins and the Victorian timeline reached the 21st century.
Jewelry is a visual celebration of the world's top jewellery making techniques. From the ancient world to 1989. Filled with more information and photos about British jewelry.
5. Popular jewels of the 1960s, ' 70s and 80s by Roseann Ettinger [International Standard Book No. 0-7643-2470-5]
Thirty years of jewelry showcases the fashion and political trends that influence design. American books with price guides [2006] Most of the vintage jewelry comes from this period, so this book is worth reading. A good description of the parts that can be identified in the UK. Includes jewels, oriental influences, pop art, novelty, revival pieces, love beads, art metal, jade, plastic, wood and paving. The author has produced other reference books for decades and is well worth the investment.
6. Leigh Leshner collects Art Plastic Jewelry [ISBN 0-87349-954-9]
Bakelite is rarely seen in the quantity and variety of jewelry in each state. It is useful to identify and view the various designs that have been used with plastics or with other materials. Celluloid, plexiglass, thermoset, thermoplastic, laminated, reverse engraving are more common in the UK and are easy to see. This book really gives you a new look at plastic parts. There is not enough information about galalith, which is the more common type of early plastic in the UK. Reading books about Jakob Bengel.
7. Collecting Costume Jewelry 303: On the other side, Julia C Carroll explores costume jewellery from the back. [ISBN 978-1-57432-626-0]
The basics of this book must have knowledge of vintage clothing jewellery. Different components, including stones and cabochons, can be invaluable in dating, hardware clues that can be missed. Cameos, rhinestones, signature jewelry and signature photos, art glass, needle back and more. I read this book and always find something I didn't notice before. One of my most valuable books in terms of knowledge. There are also some designers, including Jonette Jewelry Co [JJ], which are not always found in other books. American books with price guide [2010]
Julia Carroll has produced other books, including costume jewelry 101 and 202. Both books are worthy of reference.
8. Gadgets, buttons and beads: the bohemian heritage of Sibelle Jargstorf [ISBN 0-88740-467-7]
This is another jewel in a book; because we imported a lot of vintage jewellery from this country from Bohemia to the Second World War, and then a small amount. Still can be found and collected, but the price goes up. Buttons, filigrees, glass beads, plastic and glass reliefs, 1930s, 珐琅, and more importantly history. After reading this book, it helped me determine the reliefs of the 1920s and 1930s, filigree brooch and bright rhinestone jewelry. Manually finished and machine-made dress clips and different finishes used.
Sibylle Jargstorf has produced other books on beads and glass that are invaluable.
9. Cameos: Pocket Guide for Monica Lynn Clements and Patricia Rosser Clements [ISBN 0-7643-1728-8]
Although there are many books about embossing, this small package guide is filled with materials other than shells. Shell is the most popular type of guest jewelry, but it is not attractive to me. I want to know more about the glass, plastic, metal and gemstone reliefs I found. How to identify the materials used and when to make them. This book has a large number of photographs covering a large number of reliefs in these materials and, more importantly, the UK market. US Price Guide Book [2003] For more information on interesting jewellery, please get any version of Cameos: Old and New by Anna M Miller.
10. Victorian Jewelry by Margaret Flowers [No ISBN]
Not a book about vintage but antique jewelry, now out of print, but there are still multiple versions. First published in 1951, but worth reading. Gain insight into the influence of the Victorian era and see it in the revival of works. Birmingham's role in mass production of jewelry. This book is often considered to be influential in later books. The Victorian era has three parts, each with the most common patterns of that period. Does it make me laugh at the author's pure snobbish attitude, but it is worth reading. There are very few photos, most of them are black and white photos, not very clear.
11. Scottish Jewelry: Diana Scarisbrick's Victorian Passion
Scottish jewellery has sprung up in the UK. Since the mid-nineteenth century, popularity has grown, and thousands of designs and works have been produced in factories in Scotland and England. This situation continued into the late twentieth century, mainly in Birmingham. This book is a good introduction. Not as deep as ever, and don't want information about antique Scottish souvenirs from Miracle, The Ward Brothers, Exquisite or Hollywood. Photo page of agate and silver brooch and bracelet. But the photo guide at the end of the book is complicated. This is a great primer that recognizes Scottish motifs.
12. Warman Jewelry: 4th Edition of Kathy Flood Fine Jewelry [ISBN 1-4402-0801-8]
This is the fourth edition of the Warman Jewelry Identification and Price Guide. So the other three books are to be acquired and read. In this version, the two centuries are covered with pearls, figures, reliefs, art nouveau, decorative arts and plastics. The difference between Georgia, Victoria and Edwardian jewelry. Jewelry photos one page at a time. The perfect combination of fresh antiques, vintage and modern jewellery. I found a global design portfolio for the UK. American Book and Price Guide [2010]
This is just a brief reference to the general books of old-fashioned jewels, as more and more books enter the market or I find that out-of-print books will change. There are more books about Bangladesh, Avon, Sarah Coventry, Egyptian Revival Jewelry, Haskell, D&E, Wilson and Butler and much more.
Even with so much information, I still feel that I have just smashed the surface. As mentioned earlier, there is a lack of jewelry information from Ciro Pearls, Sphinx, Exquisite, Miracle, Hollywood, Thomas Le Mott and many other companies that produced a lot of jewelry in this country in the twentieth century and are now very popular worldwide. value.
