Vintage costume jewelry

Question: Hi - I hope you can help me with this. I inherited a bunch of jewlery, including earings, which were obtained as souvenirs abroad around the years 1920 or 1930. Can you recommend a book which might inform me as to their worth? I also have several brooches. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Marion

Answer: Hi Marion, I would suggest "Costume Jewelry: The complete visual reference and price guide," by Judith Miller. The book is published by DK Collector's Guides and sells for (list) $29.95. Miller is very thorough and all of her price guides are helpful. Good luck!
