The lively and innovative jewelry of this era is presented in thousands of examples, including costume and semi-precious pieces with identifying text. This second edition includes many new pieces along with current market values. Organized by styles and materials, the book presents rhinestones to pearls, plastics, and various metals to aid collectors and dealers in identifying their items.

Following the success of her first book about neckties, Popular & Collectible Neckties: 1955 to the Present, Roseann Ettinger presents the new volume. Over 400 hundred color photographs illustrate the development of the necktie, from the turn of the century, through the Roaring Twenties, the Depression, and the War years. These neckties represent a record of textile and fashion trends, in what was often the only splash of color a man dared to wear. Most of these superb examples are in mint condition, and the photography captures their true color and pattern. A price guide is included for the collector.
