Enamel Brooch
New Age Antique Jewellery
But which book to obtain if you are living in the UK?
There are hundreds of reference books to decide on from and most have been written in the US by authors who’ve a collection based in the US. How certain is that to us inside the UK?
So here’s a brief guide of 12 books to give an excellent over view of understanding from Victorian through towards the eighties and beyond. Actually you can find far more than 12 books here, for the reason that some authors have written much more than 1 book that’s useful.
What do we appropriately call a piece of old jewelery — antique, vintage or second hand?
Antique is usually a term applied when jewelery or any other artifact is a minimum of a hundred years old.
Queen Victoria lived from 1819 to 1901. Edward V11 lived from 1841 to 1910 a short reign (1901 — 1910) but you are going to see jewelery marked as Edwardian.
However there are actually no distinct books ever written for the majority of the mass produced signed costume jewellery created by UK firms or produced for the UK marketplace apart from Wilson and Butler.
The term vintage is just not so properly defined. Some sources state that an item referred to as vintage is a minimum of 20 years old and some take 25 years as the vintage period.
1.
A great place to commence with a common over view and time line from Victorian, Art Deco, Arts and Crafts, 1950s, Czech, Austrian and some designers. Simple to read and has great photographs. Hand bag size and ideal to read on the train
2. Vintage Costume Jewellery: A Passion for fabulous Fakes by Carol Tanenbaum (ISBN 1-85149-511-8)
Bit complicated to actually date items so exact, for example a brooch, towards the actual year of manufacture. Hence several persons will only take items dating up towards the seventies as vintage. But time is moving on plus the eighties is now being extra and extra placed as being in the vintage classification.
So that suggests that second hand or used are items that date from the eighties to present day. No trouble with this dating but it is among the most underused terms.
Includes Art Nouveau, Birmingham silver, machine, intro to Bakelite and plastic along with a glossary. Loads of good photographs but none of the backs (a should for identification but rarely included in any book)
3. Secrets To Collecting Jewelry: How you can BUY MORE for less! by Leigh Leshner (ISBN 0-89689-180-1)
Again a time line and over view via history but an absolute gem of a book for the reason that it has shows the backs and mechanism or findings which might be crucial to dating jewellery. This book looks at style and supplies with certain photographs. Prom jewellery, art plastic, retro, manufacturing methods, Scandinavian, cameos. Mostly brief information and facts but a really very good visual guide. US book with $ cost guide (2005).
4. Jewels and Jewellery Clare Phillips (V & A) (ISBN 978-1-85177-535-4) or Jewellery: The Decorative Arts Library edited by Janet Swarbrick (ISBN 1-902328-13-2)
Could not make a decision which of these UK books was probably the most informative.
Jewels and Jewellery contains materials, a chronology of types and manufacturing and distribution. Faith jewellery, cut steel, mourning and appreciate jewellery not just jet or bog oak. Lalique, Ashbee, Liberty Cymric, Wilson, Gaskins and a time line pre Victorian towards the 2000s.
Jewellery is really a visual celebration of the world’s great jewellery producing techniques. From the ancient globe until 1989. Full of info and photographs with much more precise references to Jewellery within 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 which might be recognizable here within the UK. Including 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)
It is helpful to recognize and see the range of designs plastic has been utilised or with other materials. This book does make you appear at plastic accessories in a complete new light. For this read books on Jakob Bengel.

I would recommend you study more essays dealing with Where To Sell Silver.
