Summary:
This is an important study of both well-known and forgotten jewellery
fashions and trends. It aims to spotlight areas of
collectability—mainly from the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth
centuries—which are available to enthusiasts today. There are 71
color plates and over 270 black and white illustrations, and almost
every item shown has been on the market in recent years. Among the
types of jewellery covered are diamond brooches, coral
nineteenth-century goldwork, pique, silver jewels, cameos and
intaglios, mosaics, and Edwardian pendants. Additionally, the
important "movements"—Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, including
Liberty's huge output, and Art Deco—are assessed.
