Ideal for the new collector!5
I love this book! Includes beautiful, large and detailed photographs, clear descriptions of styles and materials and excellent, concise designer profiles.

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!

A hit with me5
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.
