Researching vintage costume jewelry is a fun project
for collectors and dealers. We always want to put a date to our pieces
or find out more about the designer or maker who created it. If only
the jewelry could talk to us! Emerald City's inhabitants have worked
together to bring you these reference materials and new information will be
added to keep this an ongoing project.
