Inside the Jewelry Box by Ann M. Pitman (2004, Paperback)

Ann Pitman's "Inside the Jewelry Box" is an excellent guide. The author has provided clear photographs and detailed descriptions including costume jewelry history. Best of all, she's displayed vintage jewelry advertisements along with the jewelry pictured in the photo! For jewelry buyers, the guide educates so you can make informed purchasing decisions. For sellers, the book provides invaluable historical insight so we can better represent what we sell to our buyers. I rate this book 5 of 5 stars!
