The designer profile section is easy to use and it also includes lesser known names. All in all, very helpful for a novice costume jewellery collector!

Good value, a large book with many clear photographs and descriptions. A good reference book for anyone starting out collecting in this field. Prices are in english pounds. I fully recommend this book.

This is a great book for costume jewellery collectors it has a full range of designs pages seperated by designer it lists all the top names that you should be looking out for and shows great examples of their work. It also have a full range of unsigned examples for you to check out! Each designer has a bio of dates and where they designed for example kramer - dates he worked for dior etc.
A lovely book (I especially like the section on miriam haskell)
