Résumé

This authoritative and encyclopaedic study presents the evolution of costume jewellery from its first glimmer to the high style of modern times. The trends of each era - Victorian, Edwardian, Arts & Crafts, Jugendstil, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and each decade of the 20th century to the 1980s - are richly illustrated and reviewed within the context of their social history. Chapters include expert information on manufacturing methods, materials, and the best designers and manufacturers, such as Gripoix, Goossens, Degorce, Max Boinet, Roger Scemama, Roger Jean-Pierre, Mitchel Meer, Trifari, Coro, Eisenberg, Joseff, Kenneth Jay Lane, Coppola e Toppo, Giuliano Fratti, Miriam Haskell and Marcel Boucher, among others.
