The sun is shining on my little table this morning. I love, love, love this book. It's called Vintage Jewelry Design by Caroline Cox (Lark Books 2010). For some reason I associate the word "vintage" with the 20's and 30's, but this book starts with the 1900's and ends with 2008. That's quite a range and the book illustrates it wonderfully! I'm not kidding.
The text is small and the pictures large so it's information and visually PACKED!
For all the metal lovers out there…
Fashionistas will love it as there are many fantastic full page photos of clothing and adornments working side by side for full effect.
224 pages. Picture book. Reference book. INSPIRATIONAL front to back!
