This is a great handbook with a little bit of everything. Beautiful color photos. I am not much of one for price guides, but this is the most right on price guide I have ever seen. The prices are very much reflective of the real market today. Usually price guides are highly inflated to increase the value of the author's own collection, but this one is realistic and I appreciate that. A good general book for a beginner.
Like many antique jewelry lovers, the HH Dollhouse has many antique vintage jewelry pieces. This price guide is simply priceless. It gives buyers and dealers appraised values of pieces. Color pictures are offered throughout along with estimated values. Each chapter is separated by time periods: antique 1800-1920 (georgian, victorian, edwardian); 19th & 20th century costume jewelry; mid century modern (Art DECO, Nouveau); fine estate jewelry, & more. This guide was updated in 2007, offering fairly accurate appraisals. This book is huge time saver, especially if you are just learning the vintage antique jewelry trade. Happy reading.
GORGEOUS PHOTOS,, ONE OF THE VERY BEST BOOKS ON ANTIQUE JEWELRY. VERY HAPPY TO HAVE IT IN MY LIBRARY.

This book is great! Not too large, plenty of photos all in color, a nice variety of items are appraised, my only concern would be that it is a 2007 edition so the values could be off at this point.
