This catalogue (on the right) was the epitome of home shopping, circa 1976; it had 698 pages to saunter through.
I'm basically looking for jewellery photos with historical value. Some of those designs are still popular even today.
The most obvious thing that has changed are the prices.
Some of these (Canadian) catalogues are between 24 & 49 years old, and many are still in excellent reading condition.
In version #2 of this two-part essay, I'll be including jewellery prices of the very popular Cubic Zirconia, as well as Diamonds. Catalogues were very popular decades before the Internet came into existence.
In my search for these items, if I come across jewellery-related machines, I'll post them as well. (but no promises).
