GLASS BEADS FROM EUROPE (Schiffer Book for Collectors)

excellent in all ways

Love it

ok just slightly disappointed there wasn't more information and history and value of glass beads

Just what I was looking for, lots of info on the history of beads and where different styles of beads are from in Europe, lots of pictures and examples. its unreal the tones of Czech glass beads America ordered between 1920-1930's to make the long necklaces that was in vogue, then you have the Rhinestones. great book of your doing research

Voila le livre qui me manquait en complément de "The History of Beads " de Dubin.Bien documenté, bien référencé, à avoir absolument!Merci.

This is a very good book to add to your library if you collect beads.

Was hoping for more in depth coverage of dark age beads, The Byzantines the Francs and various tribes and lore. I didn't Whitby Jet represented and we know their Chieftan burials found with necklaces of Whitby Jet. We know the Romans coveted the Jet and was likely part of the silk road.The Blue eye beads and the significance. Plenty of images but many were 17th and 18 century Murano types and then a mix of contemporary reproductions.Good bathroom reading I suppose.

Very informative. The best books on beads I have seen to date
