Today I added three more jewelry catalogs to the site. They are listed under Information/Catalogs.
The first catalog is Gerlou dating the early 1940s and featuring some interesting early Trifari pieces with pricing! A sample page is shown below. It is a small catalog but fascinating to read. I wish I could buy that Trifari bird pin for $20!!! However, in today’s money that would be closer to $450.00…which, interestingly, would still be a bargain on eBay!
The second addition is 1969 Monet catalog. The “charming” back cover has a useful index.
The third is a 1965 Judy Lee Catalog. Some of the pages from this catalog are shown in Collecting Costume Jewelry 303.
These three additions join the 1977 Trifari Catalog already on the site. While writing my books I acquired many interesting catalogs and advertisements. It is my goal to scan and upload as many as possible into the website. It is an eclectic pile of “jewelry” paper! I love looking at it all and I hope you will, too!
Happy collecting!
Love,
Julie
