Collecting Costume Jewelry 101 was published twenty years ago in 2004! Many of the most beautiful pieces featured in the book came from the Collection of David Mayer, owner of the Millsboro Bazaar.
For fun, I wrote an article about select pieces from his collection titled “David Mayer’s Jewelry from Collecting Costume Jewelry 101 Twenty Years Later. ” It is published under the information tab (the red ribbon) on this website.
Do you remember these two beauties from the book?
Twenty years ago, jewelry books did not routinely show the backs of the jewelry, special design details, or signatures. This article includes many new photographs and undated information about each piece.
I hope you have time to read it and, if you do, I hope you enjoy this new look at past treasures.
Happy Collecting,
Love,
Julie
