5.0 out of 5 stars A Sweeping, Successful Overview of Collectible Silver Jewelry, February 7, 2006
By Norene A. Cashen (Detroit Rock City) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific resource!, August 27, 2005
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fred Really Knows His Stuff!!, February 26, 2005
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.
