I have many vintage jewelry books in my collection and this book tops my list. I have not always been a fan of vintage plastic jewelry but have a few pieces of bakelite that I won't part with and this book gives an excellent and accurate break down of the different materials, as well as accurate value prices. The prices listed are in line with Warmen's and Antique Trader. This book is a must have if you like Bakelite, Lucite, or the other variations of vintage plastic jewelry. A+ -HH
If you are looking for a lot of information about plastic jewelry, this is not the book for you. The first 16 pages are devoted to information about plastics, how to identify each type, caring for them, etc. The rest of the book is a compilation of pictures (with prices) of all sorts of plastic jewelry. The photos are in full color, beautifully done. If you only want to buy one book this isn't the one. I have a number of books on collectible jewelry, and I'm pleased to own this one also.
As a major collector of plastic jewelry I found this book to be valuable in identifying many of my plastic jewelry pieces I knew little about. Excellent photos! I would recommend this book to anyone interested in collecting jewelry. This was a great price on a Leigh Leshner book.
A+++ Fast!
Verified purchase: Yes
For a beginner collector of art plastic jewelry, this book gives the basics. There are many excellent illustrations of jewelry to provide an overview of different plastic jewelry, from early plastic to contemporary designers. I wanted to know a bit more about the illustrations, i.e. sizes and approximate date of production of the items.
Fun book full of beautiful pictures Little lite on details but great picture reference Glad I purchased it
I love Plastic Jewelry and was very happy to purchase a new book on this subject! I collect Bakelite Jewelry and was happy to see Jim Foltz was listed in this book!
