One Hundred Years of Collectible Jewelry by Lillian Baker (1978, Paperback)

I purchased this book for research. It provides pictures of general representations of the styles of jewelry and/or accessories from the period 1850 to 1950. There is price guide for the items pictured. The most important thing to know about this book is that it isn't a 'picture book'. It includes lots of terminology, facts, history and general information about jewelry and accessory items which have been used in the past focusing on the earlier pieces, not the glitzy items so popular in mid-century and later. If attaining more knowledge about the subject is your goal, this book would be a good investment for you.
