The costume jewelry designers are discussed individually and their work is displayed in hundreds of magnificent photographs of their masterpieces. There are stunning photographs of the work of Miriam Haskell, Hattie Carnegie, Eisenberg, Coro, Weiss, Boucher, Trifari, Hollycraft, Schreiner, Sarah Coventry, and many more. Unsigned masterpieces are also included, proving that the makers of many top quality pieces are sometimes unknown.
