This book is an all-in-one introduction for the novice who wishes to venture into the world of buying and selling vintage costume jewellery. It's also a source of information about the popular types of jewellery you are likely to come across at auctions and markets today. Do you want to know more about the origins of acrostic jewellery and their secret messages of love? Coral, jade, Queen Elizabeth I's 'Checkers Ring' or the history behind the tiger's clavicle brooch from the days of the Raj in India? You'll find these and other interesting, amusing and informative stories about jewellery in this book. Finally, and most importantly, there's a section on the lives of some silversmiths and jewellers, the unique jewellery they designed for us to love, cherish and wear, adding to our sparkle.


Nicolson, Rosie: - Rosie Nicolson (born Rothon) grew up in East Lothian, Scotland. Married in her teens, she emigrated with her husband and young family to South Africa where they lived for more than 30 years. Returning to Edinburgh to retire, she learned silversmithing and lapidary and took an interest in collecting Scottish vintage jewellery. A self-starter, Rosie taught herself drawing at the age of 75 and, after researching an unknown bone brooch set in silver, wrote her first essay, 'To Kill a Tiger' during the COVID-19 lockdown crisis. 'Jewellery Stories of a Different Kind' is her first book, and a memoir of her time in South Africa is in the making. You can contact Rosie at rosie@jewellerystories.co.uk
