Review - Costume Jewllery bu Judith Miller


If you want to indulge in jewel fabulouness take a read of this incredible book by Judith Miller.
Filled with beautiful images this book will appeal to any jewellery lover whether you prefer antique, fashion or fine jewellery this will only increase your appetite.

One of many designers showcased, Mawi is a gorgeous costume jewellery brand that make exquisite pieces that stand out from the rest. The eclectic style of Mawi jewellery is what attracts me as it has a mixture of hard and romantic.

I selected some classic and ornate style brands.

Renowned jewellery expert Miller transports you back in time explaining the history behind the designs and what lead to certain trends.
Not only is this a beautiful visual book it is also an incredibly fascinating read which will give you an insight into art, history and beautiful gems.
Miller also details how to spot antique pieces and what marks to look for when buying from a dealer.

The history regarding each designer is such an interesting read so I think this would be very informational for those studying jewellery making or fashion.

Costume Jewellery by Judith Miller is published by the Octopus Publishing group

Price 
Was £25 Now £15

I really do heart this book and when I get my french style coffee table this will proudly take place on it.

Where do you get your costume jewellery from?
