Over 200 new and updated photographs have been added, including an expanded section on Boucher jewelry. Some of the mystery about Regency Jewels is revealed through an interesting and informative interview with the nephew of Raymond Albertieri who managed every aspect of Regency Jewels from the late 1940s through 1972. Already packed with 160 vintage advertisements, this new edition includes a dozen additional ads for makers like Ciner, Boucher, Haskell, Bogoff, Trifari, Mazer, Castlecliff, Whiting and Davis, and Judy Lee. Every value in the book has been reviewed and updated. The second edition of Collecting Costume Jewelry 202 is significantly different from the first, so much so, collectors will want to keep both versions in their reference libraries. 2010 values.

About the Author

She taught computer science for many years, and at that time very few published materials were available to teach young children, so she frequently wrote her own lessons. She used this skill in trying to teach others about collecting costume jewelry.

Wow - They keep getting better!,
This review is from: Collecting Costume Jewelry 202 2nd Edition (Collecting Costume Jewelry 202: The Basics of Dating Jewelry) (Paperback)
If you have bought the series of Julia Carroll's books, "Collecting Costume Jewelry 101, 202 and 303," you come to think after each book, this is her BEST one yet! She then writes ANOTHER wonderful book that is filled with more new information on designers, stunning photos of beautiful costume jewelry, and fills the pages with fabulous vintage ads and clear detailed drawings of design patents. One thing about Julia's books that amaze me is the wealth of knowledge she provides on many of the designers by personal interviews with family members, previous employees, and other knowledgeable people that were involved in the jewelry making business. She always takes extra steps to provide collectors with information that not only will help them learn more about collecting, but gives the pieces they already have in their collections a special meaning. It is wonderful to see an actual patent of one of your favorite pieces, the date & name of the designer, and possibly a jewelry ad featuring that piece. Julia, I am one of your biggest fans and your books will always hold a special place in the very front of my jewelry library.
