I collect old and vintage costume and fine jewelry for over three decades. Most of what I bought was from Saturday and Sunday flea market on the local market and drive-in theater once a month at an antiques market in the open air mass in the mountains near where I raised instead. I never paid that much, a quarter here, a penny there, and sometimes a few dollars over the years until I was really a serious collector, I’d probably not more than 0.00 to an amazing collection of over 2500-3000 pieces.
the third edition Official Price Guide to Fashion Jewelry, I’ll strip “Philadelphia” has been made and has a market value of up to 000 to the Holy Grail of Bakelite jewelry.
I was very passionate about the charm bracelets in the 1960 made by Napier. At one point I had finished about 30 of them, and I wore that very rarely have I loved. I had colored fruit, the Asian theme, and my favorite is the theme park with sea shells and seahorses. Over the years have paid between 00 to 0.00 each for them and the beginning of 2000, I sold individually on eBay for up to 5.00 and 245.00 each. What a comeback, right. Well yes, but one day is not over, I’m sorry they will sell. They gave me more happiness than money made. As I began my research into sophisticated jewelry I got all love Miriam Haskell, Eisenberg, Boucher and Pennino. All these names appeared with a higher price but still affordable and are very luxurious. Then came Elder, McClelland-Barclay, Schreiner, Dujay, Marchand, Reja, Deja and Alfred Philippe and Alfred Spaney very special pieces made for Crown Trifari. Needless to say I was delighted and never return. After a while, and when I got older, I started <-! Next -> understand the beauty of Victorian and Art Nouveau 19C and in particular parts of mourning made during and after the Civil War. Art Deco pieces also caught my attention because of their architectural drawings angle. Well enough about me … Over the years, he was really speculate on what I’ve come to a game and then pay the hardest part trying to find out how much was a value play. Therefore, I find that the public library had many jewelry price guides and I paid by each of them for days and would be my next piece I was obsessed to choose from. Through this research, I found three writers for the better, the right information for almost everything you need to know as antique and vintage costume and fine jewelry collection or seller can stand. The first is Jeanene Bell. Jeanene Bell had experts on the Antiques Roadshow as jewelry and is a leading authority on American antique jewelry. She has written numerous books and the first book I bought from her was “How to be an ornament Detective”. This book is filled to the brim with valuable information about the clues to solve the mysteries of jewelry. They are easy to understand advice for testing, gem cutting, rolling and
over the centuries, notes and a whole lot more. I have recommended this book literally 100 of my buyers on eBay, the cut can not be sure what the gutta-percha, or is it ivory or bone and what is a briolette. They answered all and it even has a pocket guide on small the field to go into stores and flea markets. My favorite book of his is the Victorian Jewelry collection, a real feast for the eyes and is beautiful enough to see that others are allowed to read. In this book, she shows a remarkable range of amazing museum quality pieces of costume jewelry and fine. Each piece is a work of art and everyone has an easy to understand description and the assigned value. It sends the story Victorian and finds all the main characters have. It clarifies the drive over that period in time, it’s all about romance, passion and grief. Very good read and a very good help for part-time serious collector. My favorite author’s next Harrice Simon-Miller. I have two of their price guides, costume jewelry second edition and the “Official Guide 3rd edition jewelry price What I found in his books she has her job as regards fashion jewelry from the beginning of Art Nouveau in the Present your books are very .. <- Next -> good for identifying the key players in the sector costume design and fashion. It is very clear what is to examine any signature jewelry designer and their photographs and descriptions to give you an advantage when you’re on the ground. Their values are truly representative retail in fine stores antiques and jewelry and drive parameters to spend what it takes to “fix” your jewelry collection to get. She was on eBay a few times and every piece they have purchased has been purchased just strange and unexpected, which I think she knew, or created a trend that others were even aware of. My third favorite author Roseann Ettinger. He has a series of price guides that are not only jewelry, but other vintage collectibles with many Focusing on fashion and fifties. Her jewelry price guides, they contain “popular” series and “Forties and Fifties Popular Jewelry” “Popular Jewelry of the 60, 70 and 80″ and I love her more than anything, “Popular Jewelry 1840-1940″ in the third revised edition. your guide covers the cost of jewelry you’ve actually met and power him not to be a lot of money to be. Unlike Bell and Simon-Miller, entertainment, museum-quality and hard to find parts to get that <- Next ->. Songs are listed in Ettinger really accessible and I really have a lot of his pieces, which she describes her pictures are quite large making it easy to see the details of the plays and they have worn on the side of the shining jewels, but real down to earth things Most of our mothers and grandmothers live.
