Please feel free to add your own below.
@flipping_treasures Let's thank Sandy for putting this together so we all can contribute.
Don't overlook reference books and magazines and most books can be found at Antique malls for sale at reduced prices. A good gem stone book is valuable for viewing and researching, a must.
A magazine that I subscribe to ( for years) is Kovals Antique trader. Every month they focus on a different costume jewelry line and all the information and artists included. This past month was Fruit salad jewelry. This magazine is now being produced in color and makes it spectacular I think! I also write on the front of the cover which jewelry line they have in that particular issue and file it.
Also, if you visit an older antique mom & pop store, sometimes they'll sell you their older reference books for pennies on the dollar.
These sites will help with iding D&E (Juliana) jewelry.
And if you want to do a study of D&E you might want to do some studying.

If you want some first-hand knowledge of Schreiner Jewelry you might want to read through this thread. Please, understand that although Stephen is more than happy to answer questions, please don't overwhelm asking if something is Schreiner WITHOUT READING the things he has written to help identify Schreiner Jewelry. TIA
Here is a great site for silver markings both American and Internationally.
Online Encyclopedia of Silver Marks, Hallmarks & Makers' Marks (925-1000.com)
this mark comes up a ton, and I've answered it a ton. It is Carol Felley a Southwestern artist.
This mark has stumped us forever and poster oldcrowsnest found it.
so I'm adding this
Sandy, ran across this hangtag while pricing...thought I would add.
very pretty but boy does it tangle up!
extremely nice crystals!
Thank you Silver. Sorry I'm late to this. Currently, I am so far behind in everything. I will ad this in a day or two as I try and get back in the swing of things. Thanks again.
