Description
This comprehensive guide to Native Southwest jewelry artists and their hallmarks provides an in-depth look at forty-five silversmiths who worked from the 1920s to the 1970s. Over 275 images illustrate the marks found on jewelry, along with photographs of artists, trading posts, and guild advertisements.
The book explores the stories behind these marks, including the lives and artworks of notable silversmiths such as Grant Jenkins and Fred Peshlakai, who left their reservations to work in cities and tourist venues. It also features profiles of contemporary master silversmiths.
