| Summary: | "In the early 20th century, New York became the epicenter of paste jewelry design, as artisans fleeing war-torn Europe rebuilt their craft in America. Their expertise propelled the city to fashion's forefront, ushering in an era of bold, beautiful, and accessible bijouterie. Featuring 574 of the world's most exquisite costume gems, this book follows jewelry's democratization, as women embraced statement accessorizing and a newfound fashion freedom. Beyond their intrinsic beauty, these baubles embodied rebellion and transformation: they adorned Hollywood's greatest icons, and became symbols of liberation, identity, and creativity." -- Page 2 of book jacket. |
