Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The identification and dating of American jewelry heretofore has been difficult because few pieces bear standard markings and the references have been diverse, hard to find, and incomplete. Using old trade journals and their related directories as her primary sources, the eminent silver historian Dorothy Rainwater has exhaustively compiled here for the first time a comprehensive reference of jewelry trademarks and manufacturers in alphabetical order. She has also written a history of jewelry making in the United States which explains the framework upon which this enormous industry was built. The large scale manufacturers which began in the 1840s form a major portion of this directory. it is surprising to learn that only in 1961, after years of effort by the Jeweler's Vigilance Committee and the backing of trade journals, did American law require makers' marks on new jewelry. Therefore, this reference should become an important sourcebook for every jeweler, collector, antique jewelry dealer and manufacturing historian for the foreseeable future.

This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During colonial times, early Dutch settlers, many of whom were experienced in pewter and silver, immigrated to New England. The actual birth of the U.S. costume jewelry industry is said to have occurred in 1794, when Nehemiah Dodge, a goldsmith and watch repairer in Providence, Rhode Island, developed a method for plating base metal with gold. He patented processes to make quality gold jewelry of less than 18K which was the standard at that time. It is he who is given credit for the commencement of costume jewelry production. By 1810, one hundred workers were employed by jewelry manufacturers in Rhode Island. Small businesses were developing throughout southern New England. As the turn of the century approached, skilled jewelry craftsmen were being replaced by machinery. Production and labor became more specialized. Instead of just "jewelers," there were toolmakers, die cutters, and machine operators. Production was broken down into electroplating, enameling, engraving, chasing, die sinking and lapidary work. Mass production of jewelry had begun in Rhode Island. To this day, American jewelry manufacturing has remained an industry comprised of small businesses, most of them in the northeastern portion of the United States with the costume jewelry manufacturing mostly concentrated in Rhode Island. There has, however, been some shift to California, Texas, Florida and South Dakota. In recent years the jewelry industry has been affected by substantial consolidation with the development of national chains. This is due in part to the development of enclosed shopping malls, competition from department stores, catalog showrooms and television shopping networks. In addition, suffering from high rent costs in shopping malls, jewelry retailers are reducing their overhead by skipping the middlemen and purchasing their inventory directly.

Book excerpt: As one of the oldest costume jewelry companies still in existence, Monet has, for almost 70 years, made jewelry that cannot be surpassed for its quality, craftsmanship, and audacious design. Monet: The Master Jewelers is a long overdue, in-depth look at this innovative and enduring company. Through comprehensive research, little known facts about Monet and its founders, Michael and Joseph Chernow, as well as the people behind it, are revealed for the first time. Misconceptions about the company's origins and its early years are finally corrected. This is also a visual celebration of the artistry of Monet jewelry throughout the decades. Delving well beyond basic gold necklaces and earrings, you will be overwhelmed by the diversified and unique styling of the many bracelets, charms, earrings, and necklaces Monet pioneered throughout their long history. The Monet experience is further explored through vintage magazine and newspaper advertisements, patents, rare company and family photos, as well as never-before-published memorabilia from the early Monocraft years. Collectors, dealers, designers, stylists, and anyone with an appreciation of costume jewelry and its history will find this book to be a valuable and must-have reference.

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Phenomenon of Studio Goldsmithing When the history of art in the 1980s is written, much of it will be etched in gold. This is the time of the contemporary goldsmith, an artist who chooses to work in precious metals rather than oils or marble. The contemporary jeweler-as-artist has only recently become a re cognized force. With rare exceptions, the whole field is little more than thirty years old. But it is only within the past fifteen years that these jewelers have entered the jewelry mainstream. The phenomenon of contemporary goldsmithing embraces an eclectic group of artists, each with a unique vision, each taking a per sonal path to jewelry producing. They have as little relationship to the typical, mass-produced jewelry as a champagne maker has to a bottler of orange soda. They approach a piece of art, not a piece of metal. The work is personal and a perfect expression of the "back to the land" movement that spawned it. Many of these goldsmiths were looking not merely for a way to make a living but for a way to make a life that was worthy of living. Running a business while trying to remain a creative metalsmith at the same time is the ongoing challenge. The jeweler-artists have solved or resolved these often conflicting needs in slightly different ways and in a beautiful variety of techniques and styles. Their meth ods, their growth, and their work are discussed here.
