Crafts & Hobbies Art, Design & Photography Antiquarian & Collectable
Judith Miller’s Costume Jewelry spotlights the dazzling world of mid-century brooches, bangles, and beads from couture ateliers and unsigned ateliers alike. This 2007 DK trade paperback surveys 400 color-filled pages of design history, market insight, and collector tips, making it a go-to fashion reference for vintage lovers and dealers.
Golden-Ara names—Trifari, Haskell, Chanel—appear in crisp photos paired with current valuations, so readers can spot treasures at estate sales or online auctions. Miller’s clear captions and decade timelines keep the hunt beginner-friendly while still satisfying seasoned antiquarians.
The book arrives in very good condition: pages are clean, binding tight, and no previous owner has left notes or creases. Stored in a smoke-free home, it’s ready to slip onto a shelf or into a tote for flea-market browsing.
