Fabulous Fakes: A Passion for Vintage Costume Jewelry

You may have seen them in some wonderful old movie, sparkling on Audrey Hepburn or Claudette Colbert, looking as if they cost millions of dollars. They didn't; they are not the real thing. But even though they are faux, they're made with the same care and attention as the real things: strands of artificial pearls individually knotted, "gems" hand set and pronged, plastic bangles more stunning than ivory. "Fabulous Fakes" gives you one hundred years...

A very pleasant well presented book, with great attention to the details of good paper and clear colourful photos. The printed information is interesting and the colour photographs inspiring. I liked the book very much as a frivolous delightful dip into the world of bling.

A 'must' for any serious collecting library, especially those covering costume jewelry.

FABULOUS FAKES: A PASSION FOR VINTAGE COSTUME JEWELRY is much more than just another identification or pricing guide: it captures and shares the author's own enthusiasm for the history and background of costume jewelry, offering chapters spiced with numerous color photos. Her pieces accompany a running history of vintage costume jewelry from Victorian to modern times, offering excellent and vivid insights into show-stopping pieces. A 'must' for any serious collecting library, especially those covering costume jewelry. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
