Fabulous Fakes
A Passion for Vintage Costume Jewelry
by Carole Tanenbaum
Produced by Madison Press Books
Fabulous Fakes showcases some of the most beautiful and unforgettable
vintage costume jewelry ever designed - from an Elsa Schiaparelli parure
in frosted glass to the black-and-red geometrics of Auguste Bonaz and
the sheer dazzle of Henry Schreiner's Victorian-style wire brooches.
Curator and connoisseur Carole Tanenbaum invites you on an intimate tour
of the brightest gems in her unequaled private collection, revealing
many seldom-seen pieces and highlighting both their artistry and their
allure.
Her dazzling pieces reflect the fascinating history of vintage costume
jewelry - a story that starts with mass-produced Victorian jewelry,
moves through the wonderfully sophisticated lines of Art Deco geometrics
and the showstopping glamour of Hollywood and parks at the doorstep of
1990s designer and artisanal jewelry.
For everyone who appreciates the artistry of vintage costume jewelry and
can't resist its allure, Fabulous Fakes is the ultimate collector's
guide - by one of the world's most astute collectors.
CAROLE TANENBAUM has provided vintage costume jewelry for many movies
and museum exhibitions. Her impressive collection spans the Victorian
era through to the 1960s and includes many designer-stamped pieces.
RITA SILVAN, who wrote the text for the book, is editor-in-chief of ELLE
Canada, one of the country's leading fashion magazines.
