This review is from: Fine Fashion Jewelry from Sarah Coventry (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)

I purchased this book thinking that it would be helpful to me in my quest to identify Sarah Coventry jewelry. It has many lovely pictures, but hardly any names for the jewelry pieces shown. Since Sarah Coventry named so many of their items, I think it is necessary to have those names associated with the pieces. It does me no good to see a picture of what I already have and still cannot name it. The most helpful part of this book is in the back where the author has pictures of Sarah's catalog pages 1976, 1978, and 1980. Jewelry can be identified there if you have a magnifying glass. Also, I believe the author has unrealistic values on the jewelry shown. I see sets that she has valued at $45-$65 selling online for much less.
