Vintage Jewelry: For Investment and Casual Wear

I agree with the other reviewers that, if you're looking to learn about investing in costume jewelry, this is not the best book. However, as a longtime collector of inexpensive vintage costume jewelry, I found it very useful in one respect: it gave me the courage to wear my rather gaudy costume jewelry with jeans and other casual outfits by showing examples of other women doing just that. If you're like me, most of your jewelry languishes in storage waiting for the rare treks to the syphony or theater, and it takes some inspiration to convince you it doesn't look silly with everyday clothes. If you've got it ("it" being rhinestones), flaunt it!
