This gorgeous book Fabulous Costume Jewelry: History of Fantasy and Fashion in Jewels is a delight for all who are interested in fine craftsmanship, beautiful jewelry, and the role of fashion in an ever changing world. Costume jewelry is an intimate reflection of its age. Shaped by the attitudes and fashion of the women who wear it, this jewelry reveals their temperaments, their fantasies, and the spirit of their times. This lushly illustrated book is a comprehensive retrospective of commercial costume jewelry, from 18th century Georgian, Neo Classic, and Romantic pieces to 20th century Edwardian, Art Deco, Cocktail, and modern jewelry. It discusses in great depth the roots of jewelry movements, the cultural trends that influenced jewelry designers, industrialism, wartime, the growth of Hollywood, technological breakthroughs, and the women's movement. It looks at the effects jewelry had on women's fashions and the influence of top costume jewelry designers Miriam Haskell, Hattie Carnegie, Eisenberg, Boucher, Coro, Weiss, Schreiner, Ciner, Cini, Hollycraft, Trifari, and many more.
