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.

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.

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.

Mr. Rezazadeh "strikes gold" AGAIN with yet another sumptuous book about jewelry. His latest is replete with comprehensive, instructive text and a wide array of detailed photographs of silver jewelry items from virtually every decade in the 20th Century, including the many countries in which silver jewelry is hand-wrought or manufactured. I purchased this book about a month ago, and have yet to read about the many manufacturers and techniques which Mr. Rezazadeh has included. This book is WELL worth the price. Every true SILVER jewelry afficionado will add this "gem" to his/her collection with sheer delight!

Fred Rezazadeh must be an authority on the subject & the book shows it. Notions are simple and clear, treatment of the subject matter is balanced and professional, and it is all well documented. With the exception of a few, the color pictures-- & there are 100's of them-- are appropiately dimensioned & are of high quality. This book is a must for silver jewlery collectors & those who may have any interest in the subject matter.

Whether you are an expert collector or a neophyte, you will find this book a valuable reference source. It is illustrated in full-color and covers the range of silver jewelry makers exhaustively, maker by maker, including illustrations of makers' marks.

I greatly enjoyed the Costume Jewelry book written by the same author. This book is the best reference book on silver jewelry that I have seen on the market. It has beautiful photographs and great deal of information on the silver jewelry of so many different countries all with manufacturers' marks, biographies, national silver standard marks, etc. Great value and equivalent of several books combined. Thanks Mr. Rezazadeh for another comprehensive book on collectible jewelry.

Contains the marks on silver jewellery from many countries around the world so is very useful for collectors and those interested in silver jewellery.

This is an outstanding book on costume jewelry and a real bargain for the price. Good organization and lots of photos. The most interesting part which I like the most is the fact that it has silver, metal, beads, and imported jewelry as well as the regular costume jewelry. Much more comprehensive than any other book in the market and well written. Thanks Mr. Fred Rezazadeh.

I would just like to observe that their is a mistake in his research. ORB-Otto Robert Bade did not begin his business in PA; he moved there. The ORB collection began on LONG ISLAND! My grandmother lived next to the Bade's for many years and they were close friends. My uncle even worked at the shop and made silver bracelets for his sisters for Christmas.

So you may wish to take the research in this book with a grain of salt.
