“Victorian jewelry is about the most accessible antique.  A walk around any antique market reveals it in profusion, at relatively modest prices.  Many people also have bits and pieces that have been handed down the generations, and would like to know more about them, yet most of the available literature is aimed at the dealer or specialist collector.  Here is a book that gives the story of nineteenth-century jewelry and the events behind it, written in a lively and informative way that will appeal to the collector and non-collector alike.”
