There are so many different types of vintage rhinestone jewelry available that it can be confusing to choose what is genuine and what is of poor quality. When I started out, I read as many articles as I could and I also read antique rhinestone jewelry reference books which really filled in most of the gaps in my knowledge.

I've sifted through the best reviews of vintage rhinestone jewelry books currently available from Amazon and these four have come up as being the most popular.
