About This Antiquarian
Book |
This OUT OF PRINT catalogue lists and describes 500 Lots, ALL of which appear to be illustrated, of mouth watering Jewelry - Just Before Christmas ! For the person who has everything and still wants more! [the greedy twits!] The items include -- you name it and it's in here! -- rings, bracelets, ear studs and clips, necklaces and chokers, bangles and pendants, brooches, compacts, cuff links, tie bars, money clips, shirt studs, and MORE! Makers include -- those in the header and -- Chanel, Gage, Hammerman Bros., Kieselstein - Cord, Nardi, Schlumberger, Webb, Winston, Disney, among MANY others! Each maker is listed in the 6 pages of Biographies, adding to the wealth of useful information contained in this tome. Page after page of 500 sparkling lots of exquisite jewelry at a before Christmas sale -- HEY, I would have been thrilled with just one or two of these baubles! They even had the sale in morning and afternoon sessions -- probably so that the big spenders could check their bank balances via their Lap Top to make sure they could bid on more goodies -- while having a bologna sandwich and a small Caesar salad with fresh truffles, and a .75L bottle of white Zinfandel to wash it down, at Tavern On The Green -- while their chauffeur had barely enough $$ for a Happy Meal at McDs! What -- you say - me, jealous? Hell, NO! I just never wished for even more than enough to pay bills, or anything better than my li'l Honda, and you know what they always say -- be careful about what you don't wish for -- they are soooooo right! What a fabulous tome if you are a jewelry designer, dealer, collector or just researching traditional makers and some of the things these artisans in precious stones and GOLD are noted for! If you have begun your own personal computer interactrive relational database of makers / styles / models, you will certainly find many new items and perhaps even a new jewelry designer to add to your list, information as well as gorgeous color pics, to add to it in this really exceptional reference book. How rewarding it is these days to use an easy-to-do source of instant information based on readily available software (FileMaker Pro, for example), designating KEY SEARCH TERMS to find/locate anything you might be interested in with the click of a mouse. It sure beats all those shelves full of reference books and the zillions of index cards! Just think of all the space you would save by having all that info on several CDs or DVDs! Index [of artists/makers], extensive Biographies, Colorless Diamond Index, Diamonds, The 4 C'2 [cut, colour, clarity, carat], Ring Size Conversion Chart [American - French/Japanese - English - Metric, inches/cm]. Lavishly illustrated ! Antiquarian Book in EXCELLENT+ Condition!! Return to |
