Warman's Jewelry Field Guide

The New Warman's JEWELRY field guide is the Wikipedia of Bijoux & Wearable art. It's a must have volume for any novice or collector who covets this glistening media.It's way more than a "field guide" considering the wonderfully written introductory essays that separate the definitive styles,materials,and trends. Kathy Flood has the ability to suck us into this shiny addictive world, at the same time educating us in the background. This precious collection of words, images, & detailed descriptions is actually a gem in itself. While measuring 4.25 x 5.25 inches, over 510 pages, one inch thick, is as intimate a book can be without receiving an X rating. At this totally affordable price, it's definitely going to be my ultimate Xmas Stocking Stuffer to everyone that i give good gift to.

This little book (second edition) contains very good photographs, better than the first edition of this title, but very little text. It gives a specific price for each of the pictured pieces, but I did not find any reference as to how these prices were determined. To a novice collector, these prices could be misleading. Collecting costume jewelry for three-plus decades has taught me that a piece is worth what an available buyer is willing and able to pay for it when you need to sell it.

I love looking at all pictures and as I get more into jewelry making I am finding this to be a good guide to model some of my more vintage pieces after. Also helps me to figure out what I am buying at flea markets and antique stores.

Have a few other of the Warman books and liked that this one was small. As it said FIELD GUIDE I was hoping for many more photos and info on the numerous items one would encounter when out in the hunting field of jewelry. The photos were all terrific and it did talk about many current trending items out for today. They are always amazing with description and pricing so for the few items that I would be looking for it is extremely helpful. Overall beautiful book but still a little disappointed.

Really like the information in this book and definitely can use it when going to auctions, flea markets and garage sales. Would recommend to Jewelry lovers

Perfect, thank you.

This book is a great book to reference if you are a jewelry collector. Good information and beautiful pictures, A+++

These are great books but in kindle format not so much. Get the actual book. You'll be much happier

Really great resource for those who collect costume jewelry. Nice brightly coloured pictures and great descriptions... would recommend to those who are collectors.

Wonderful book and wonderful service! Thank you very much!

思っていたより写真が多くて驚きました。本自体は小さいけど、大満足です。
