Antique Jewellery
There are hundreds of reference books to opt for from and most have been written in the US by authors who've a collection based in the US.
Actually you will find a lot more than 12 books here, due to the fact some authors have written more than a single book that's useful.
What do we correctly call a piece of old jewelery -- antique, vintage or second hand?
Antique is usually a term utilized when jewelery or any other artifact is no less than a hundred years old.
So necklaces, brooches or earrings, and so on created just before 1909 really should be referred to as and classified as antique.
Queen Victoria lived from 1819 to 1901. Edwardian jewelery is also now antique. Edward V11 lived from 1841 to 1910 a short reign (1901 -- 1910) but you will see jewelery marked as Edwardian.
However there are no certain books ever written for the majority of the mass produced signed costume jewellery created by UK corporations or created for the UK market apart from Wilson and Butler.
The term vintage is just not so well defined. Some sources state that an item known as vintage is at least 20 years old and some take 25 years as the vintage period.
1.
A very good location to start having a basic over view and time line from Victorian, Art Deco, Arts and Crafts, 1950s, Czech, Austrian and some designers. Easy to read and has superior photographs. Hand bag size and perfect to read on the train
2. Vintage Costume Jewellery: A Passion for fabulous Fakes by Carol Tanenbaum (ISBN 1-85149-511-8)
Bit tough to essentially date items so exact, for instance a brooch, towards the actual year of manufacture. Hence quite a few persons will only take items dating up towards the seventies as vintage. But time is moving on and also the eighties is now becoming additional and much more placed as becoming inside the vintage classification.
So that implies that second hand or applied are items that date from the eighties to present day. No difficulty with this dating but it is among the most underused terms.
Loads of good photographs but none of the backs (a have to for identification but hardly ever included in any book)
3. by Leigh Leshner (ISBN 0-89689-180-1)
Again a time line and over view by way of history but an absolute gem of a book simply because it has shows the backs and mechanism or findings which are essential to dating jewellery. This book looks at style and materials with specific photographs. Prom jewellery, art plastic, retro, manufacturing methods, Scandinavian, cameos. Mostly brief information but a very very good visual guide. US book with $ cost guide (2005).

This understandably leads to problems for each the buyer along with the seller on the internet, because:
Could not determine which of these UK books was probably the most informative. So have I have included both
Jewels and Jewellery contains materials, a chronology of types and manufacturing and distribution. Photographs of museum and pieces. Includes silver filigree, Berlin Iron, pearls, glass and enamel. Faith jewellery, cut steel, mourning and appreciate jewellery not just jet or bog oak. Lalique, Ashbee, Liberty Cymric, Wilson, Gaskins as properly as a time line pre Victorian to the 2000s.
Jewellery is a visual celebration of the world's excellent jewellery generating techniques. From the ancient world till 1989. Full of facts and photographs with much more precise references to Jewellery inside the UK.
5. Popular Jewelry of the '60s, '70s & '80s by Roseann Ettinger (ISBN 0-7643-2470-5)
Three decades of jewellery showing fashion and political trends that influenced the designs. US book with $ value guide (2006) The majority of vintage jewellery discovered is from this period and so makes this book invaluable to read. Well illustrated with pieces that are recognizable here within the UK. Which includes Mod jewellery, eastern influence, Pop Art, novelty, revival pieces, like beads, Art Metal, jade, plastic, wood and pave.
6. Collecting Art Plastic Jewelry by Leigh Leshner (ISBN 0-87349-954-9)
Bakelite is uncommon to locate in jewellery in such quantities and range as within the States. Celluloid, Lucite, thermoset, thermoplastic, laminated, reverse carved are much more commonly found here inside the UK and simply over looked. This book does make you appear at plastic accessories in a entire new light. Does not contain sufficient facts on galalith, the early plastic form that's much more frequent in the UK. For this read books on Jakob Bengel.
7. (ISBN 978-1-57432-626-0)
I would recommend you study more essays dealing with Where To Sell Silver.
