4.0 out of 5 stars A good general overview and price guide, October 30, 2005

S. Sheresh (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Costume Jewelry: The Great Pretenders (Paperback)

Given the endless variety of costume jewelry, choosing which pieces to include in a reference book must be an overwhelming task. While not an encyclopedic reference, for its 150+ pages "The Great Pretenders" provides a good, basic overview. There is an adequate sample of just about every type of popular costume jewelry. The pieces are well photographed and realistically valued. If you need a basic costume jewelry reference for buying and selling, this is a worthwhile book to own.
