Introduction, Alexis Bittar
The introduction and first entry for Chapter Four are posted. I hope you enjoy them.
The goal of this Chapter is to identify contemporary brands producing quality costume jewelry designs today, that have the potential to be the collectibles of tomorrow. Potential is the key word here. This whole process is speculative and designed to test the ability of a trained jewelry “eye”, using the six elements of design featured in the earlier chapters, to recognize distinctive, well-made, and enduring designs.
Alexis Bittar hand-carved Lucite jewelry has all the necessary elements to one day be a “vintage collectible.” It was an easy choice.
I enjoyed spending hours and hours looking at jewelry, and even more fun researching the back-story for contemporary brands. This Chapter is for FUN!
Additional brands will be added soon. In the meantime, Happy Collecting!
Love,
Julie
