Jewelry Reference Books

I own and use the following books in my research on Costume Jewelry. Whether it's to try and identify a piece that I have purchased, or in trying to learn more about construction, history or styles, these books are in my library. Some books are used more than others. I will be writing up my own reviews of them in the future.

I've included links to Amazon where possible.

Books are listed alphabetically by author, and this list is not intended to be a "ratings" list.
