[QUOTE="lizjewel, post: 2845232, member: 13874"]A clarification: The sentence refers to costume jewelry in general, [I]not glass[/I] in particular. Whether anyone chooses to dispute it is up to them. I still maintain that costume jewelry produced anywhere outside the U.S. was never as ubiquitous, varied, affordable, not to mention popular, accepted and respected as an art form as the U.S. industry output when it got its start in the early 20th century. This is not to say that other countries have not had sizable costume jewelry industries, they certainly have. For sheer volume, design excellence and affordability the U.S. industry in the 20th century still led the world. It was not until the late 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, and as we speak, that the Oriental industries could outcompete it.
