This book is the only one its kind to showcase the different styles, designs, themes and materials used by the Czechoslovakian artisans to create their beautiful costume jewelry. Other books that have been written about costume jewelry have usually devoted just a single chapter to Czechoslovakian costume jewelry. Some others have discussed their history and the manufacturing process.
Timeless Treasures - An Identification Guide to Czechoslovakian Costume Jewelry 1918 - 1939 has 274 pages and 54 chapters with many color photos highlighting over 2600 pieces which include pins and brooches, belts, bracelets, necklaces and rings. Included is a bit of history without going into detail about the manufacturing process.
This book is a "must have" reference guide for sellers, collectors and anyone who is interested in costume jewelry.
