Product Description

Product Description
Never before has such an extensive and beautiful collection of brooches been assembled, or photographed to such perfection. Marjorie Simon, a distinguished presence in the jewelry field, chose the pieces, and every one features the fine craftsmanship of a top contemporary jeweler. The breathtaking and provocative styles range from traditional to very avant-garde, and the brooches come not only in gold, silver, copper, and wire, but also in glass, porcelain, paper, and other more unusual materials. They're forged, soldered, chased, and cast, and surface embellishments run the gamut from enamel and metal foils to patinas and inlay. In some cases, detail images and artist's comments accompany the full-size photos. Jewelers, students, collectors, and anyone who loves exquisite items will appreciate the amazing diversity on display here.

3.0 out of 5 stars Stylish coffee table book, 28 Oct 2005
By A Customer
I bought this book hoping it was a reference guide to the many types of costume jewellery brooches available these days at boot sales, flea markets, junk shops, antique fairs and, of course, on Ebay.
However, it is instead a very stylish, well photographed book on unique, designer brooches that you would seldom come across as a collector.
Interesting nevertheless and I would say worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars 500 brooches but not enough writing, 1 Sep 2006
Being a jewellery student i find books like 500 brooches useful tools used to broaden my horizons on the designing and making of jewelley. There are many excellent examples of designer brooches in this book, great photographs too, but mostly taken of the front of the brooch. I like to see the fixtures and fittings of a piece. Seeing these can also be useful as you see how they can be adapted and often form an integral part of the design of the brooch. There are a few brief pieces of writing by some of the artists that appear in the book which are interesting but very short. Although there is a description of materials used under each piece, there are no technical notes. I understand that it is not a technical handbook and that some artists may not want to give away technical secrets but a few explanations of how materials have been attached and manipulated would be very interesting, this is pariciarly from the view point of a jewellery maker. Although I have these critisims of 500 Brooches I still rate this book highly and recommmed it to anyone who is interested in art and design. I find it a useful reference point where i can find designs and makers that interest me and see how materials can achieve unexpected effects. From this reference point one can then go on to reasearch each designer and the materials used if desired.
