<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 1851728, member: 2844&quot;]Many jewellery history books focus on higher end jewellery, which isn&#039;t much use to you.</p><p>Since you are in Europe, it is best not to buy an American book, they focus on American jewellery, which is beautiful, but we hardly get American jewellery here in Europe.</p><p>Also, the timelines are slightly different. Antique innovations often arrived later in North America, so you&#039;ll get the wrong idea of the history of an item.</p><p><br /></p><p>A bit closer to home is &quot;Starting to Collect Antique Jewellery&quot; by John Benjamin. It is British, but there is also some attention for jewellery from other European countries and a bit from North America. It is gives a good idea of periods and trends, and is a good place to start your jewellery book collection.</p><p>You may also want to search for books on Iberian jewellery, since you not only come across the general European styles, but also jewellery that is specific to the Iberian peninsula.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
