- Sarah Coventry Jewelry: An Unauthorized Guide for Collectors

I wish there were more items. I know there are more Sarah Coventry jewelry out there

I have owned a lot of this jewelry and I have decided to get rid of some wish I could get the prices these book quote but having factually information help you to sell it. I didn't realize I had so many pieces!

Doesn't list many of the pieces by the collection name. I was hoping it would, little disappointed.

Great item and very fast shipping. Thanks!

A real Waste. This book was purchased for dating and naming information. Which it does not have. It has nothing but pictures (well, okay, a COUPLE of items have date references and names). The book wasn't cheap and the information I was searching for was not there. I actually noticed in one place where the item pictured was NOT the name referenced. Someone who is really in the know needs to write a book with ALL the information pertaining to the Sarah Coventry Jewelry items. The prices listed were completely unrealistic and not the going market prices on these jewelry pieces. NEW*******December 2012-Published by Schiffer. Sandra Sturdivant has co-written the absolute BEST book on Sarah Coventry Jewelry, with the help of Bill Stuart (original owner's son) and original company records. I recommend This book at ANY price! A real must have.

Didn't identify pieces and that is what I was looking for.

As stated in my review of the author's "Avon Jewelry" book, these authors did not do their research and only described the items as gold, metal, rhodium, silver, pearl, etc. They did not give the in-depth information that collectors are looking to acquire.I'll give a few examples:(1) on page 86; the authors described the set of earrings as "Rhodium clip-on earrings" when Sarah Coventry named the line as "Fan Fare;"(2) on page 107, the authors describe the item as "Rhodium pin" even though Sarah Coventry named the pin as their "Silvery Mist" line; and(3) on page 32, the authors describe the item as "Gold metal necklace and bracelet" when Sarah Coventry named the line as "Chantilly Lace."So, how much research did I do as compared with these authors?When a person writes a book, people expect thorough research, not just pretty pictures. Yes, the book does have pretty pictures, but I've got the jewelry and wanted the information, not just pictures.I wanted a Sarah Coventry Jewelry book to help me identify and describe the collectible Sarah Coventry Jewelry that I have found at various estate sales, and thought this book could help. I was definitely mistaken. Did the authors do any research? I think not. Will I ever be so stupid as to purchase another one of their books? No way! I would resale this book, but I don't want another person to be as disappointed as I was when I purchased this book on-line; not to mention that at the same time, I also purchased their waste of writing book entitled, "Avon Collectible Fashion Jewelry and Awards."My suggestion to anyone wishing to write books on Avon or Sarah Coventry jewelry is to do your research. Both companies have catalogs with all of their items described, with the title the company gave the jewelry, dates of production and the original cost.To these authors: "Please collect those catalogs before writing any more books of this type."

Without repeating myself, I would just like to say that I agree with everything that the above person said about the book. I was disappointed to find a "collection" of pictures with several repeats and no names even attached to the items. I could have put together a book like this with my own Sarah Coventry jewelry!!
