This large format volume presents over 500 pieces of costume jewelry from more than a dozen distinctive periods in sharp color photos with descriptions and values.
"Costume jewelry is an art form unto itself," writes author Leigh Leshner. "Each piece is representative of not only the designer's imagination, but of the culture and customs of the times."
Leshner, writer and producer of the Hidden Treasures video series, is an avid vintage jewelry collector and dealer. She has also authored Vintage Jewelry: A Price and Identification Guide, 1920 to 1940s, Rhinestone Jewelry: A Price and Identification Guide, and Collecting Art Plastic Jewelry.
