The thousands of examples displayed in the book include unmarked silver jewelry pieces as well as those produced by approximately 100 U.S. manufacturers and that of over 150 foreign manufacturers, along with their trademarks and national silver standard marks, and in most cases, supplemented by brief histories and biographies of the major manufacturers and designers.

Approximately 950 photos; several hundred marks and trademarks. 2001 values. REVIEW: This book displays and prices a broad range of silver jewelry, reflecting the breadth of the collectible market and emphasizing the kind of silver jewelry which the average dealer/collector is most likely to encounter in the marketplace. The range covers a broad spectrum, from cheap to expensive, rare to common, U.S. and Continental to Middle Eastern & Oriental.

A Sweeping, Successful Overview of Collectible Silver Jewelry,
By
This review is from: Collectible Silver Jewelry Identification & Value Guide (Hardcover)
I was very happy with this book. I have been collecting for 22 years. I have been a vintage jewelry dealer for just a few years. This is the book I open the most when buying, researching and selling anything silver. Organized by geographic origin, each chapter gives you a rich overview of styles, eras, hallmarks, makers' marks, quality, estimated value and more... Love this book.

Terrific resource!,
By
This review is from: Collectible Silver Jewelry Identification & Value Guide (Hardcover)
I was looking for a book to help with identifying Mexican jewelry marks. This book went beyond just Mexican silver on to US, Scandanavian, British and other types of silver. It was exactly what I was looking for.

Fred Really Knows His Stuff!!,
By G. Gupton "Author of spiritual growth books." (Georgia, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Collectible Silver Jewelry Identification & Value Guide (Hardcover)
As a vintage jewelry dealer (Atlanta Vintage Jewelry dot com), I was in need of great reference material for silver jewelry. This book filled the bill nicely.
'Collectible Silver Jewelry' is chock full of excellent information on silver sources from around the world. Rezazadeh informs the reader about makers, designers, marks, methods, and history. Excellent pictures. This book should be on the shelf of anyone who has an interest in vintage jewelry of the silver kind.
