Ann Mitchell Pitman brings a touch of Southern humor to the vintage costume jewelry collecting field with her Inside the Jewelry Box, Volume 2.

Her second volume features nearly 1,000 full-color photographs and websites devoted to selling vintage costume jewelry, and details companies previously given little or no coverage in other reference books.

More vintage magazine ads are featured, along with the California ceramic jewelry companies like Ruby Z, Parrot Pearls, and Flying Colors. Specific information is given on selling jewelry on eBay. Designers such as Miriam Haskell, Chanel, Stanley Hagler, Schiaparelli, Joseff, Hattie Carnegie, Hobe, Mazer Bros., Trifari, Ian St. Gieler, Eisenberg, and Coro are represented. Forbidden Fruit, Deco, Fruit Salad, Bakelite, and Lucite jewelry are also presented, making this a wonderful all-around reference for vintage costume jewelry collectors and dealers. Includes 2007 values.

Read what others have to say:

I just finished going through Ann Pitman's book, Inside the Jewelry Box: A Collector's Guide to Costume Jewelry. Ann's book was a joy. She has a beautiful selection of jewels and lots of little known information about various manufacturers. Written in a warm style like her columns, I just had a great time reading it and gathering her collecting tips. She has a good variety of manufacturers, some I've never heard of, and tons of pictures with value prices.

The book arrived today and it is fabulous! I love the Shultz page and I really like the layout of the whole book. You did a great job. The website pages are really a great thing for you to do. The whole book looks very PRO and we are blessed that we are included. I think the photos are done very well and so many to look at. That is awesome. I know you worked hard for this and I pray that this will be a big success for you. Thanks again for including us and be blessed!

I have a copy of your book and it is one of my absolute favorites. 
I refer to it all the time. I would recommend it to everyone!!!!!
Bonnie Lynn Kirby, Seller and Collector

Your beautiful reference book is such fun to read. Congrats on book #2. 
I can't decide which is better. So glad I have them both!
Laurel Ciotti, Eclectica Vintage Jewelry

Much to my delight (your book) showed up yesterday. I stayed up until 1:30 am and read the whole book-I kid you not! As a "curious collector" myself I would like to say that it is probably the most enjoyable book in my collection (maybe 30). Your book reminds me that it should be FUN and I will keep that at heart! I am a firm believer that nobody knows it all. Your acknowledgments brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart, I enjoyed the set up of the chapters and stories and I especially appreciated the references in the back of the book. 
So many pictures. Ads were very intriguing and I loved the format. 
It's obvious the book is a labor of love.
Eileen Holman

Your book, Inside The Jewelry Box, is likely one of the best costume jewelry books I've ever read. You may quote me on that if you wish.
Bonnie Mancini

This is a fabulous book full of great pictures, jewels and information. 
It is a treat for the eyes and the mind.
