The historical background for each type of jewelry featured is presented, along with almost 300 detailed color photos and prices. Jewelry categories include costume, Native American, copper, and Mexican jewelry, all crafted between 1925 and the mid-1970s. Full color fashion photos of actual models displaying today's clothes combined with samples from each category of jewelry is presented. AUTHORBIO: Karen Edeen has worked for 25 years as a nuclear medicine technologist. But when off-duty, her interest is jewelry. She resides in Sacramento, California, and she and her husband are patrons of the local theaters and opera houses. They also enjoy gardening and traveling. REVIEW: In this book you will learn what sets this jewelry apart, what kinds to look for, and how to take care of each type. Then there are photographs of the jewelry and the fashion look that can result from the combination of simple clothing and collectible jewels. You will see how easy it is to achieve a polished appearance, and how your vintage jewelry can be enjoyed both as an investment and as a piece of wearable art.

Vintage Jewelry for Investment and Casual Wear,
By A Customer
This review is from: Vintage Jewelry: For Investment and Casual Wear (Hardcover)
This book has little to do with investing in jewelry. Too many pictures of uninteresting people and clothes. Too few pieces of interesting jewelry and no new information about the jewelry. A vanity publication. Better read Harrice Miller-first and second books.

Don't waste your time,
By A Customer
This review is from: Vintage Jewelry: For Investment and Casual Wear (Hardcover)
I was dismayed to see it was mostly pictures of people, not jewelry. Barely any useful information. Its a total waste of money.

Please Do Not Waste Your Money!,
By Sarah Owens "S. Owens" (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vintage Jewelry: For Investment and Casual Wear (Hardcover)
I'm here looking for a book to replace this one that I spent too much money on for what looks like a family picture album. Basically the author is showing off her own collection on her friends and family with no real information on what to look for when collecting jewelry. Save your money and find a better book! It's terrible!
