Description

Southwestern Indian Jewelry: Crafting New Traditions is a groundbreaking chronicle of bijou making among tribes of the Southwest. A sequel to the critically acclaimed Southwestern Indian Jewelry, this book features eighty-five jewelers from the Navajo, Hopi, Zuni, and Rio Grande Pueblo peoples. Many of the artists presented comprise the “new” generation of jewelers to emerge inside the last 20 years, carrying Native American jewelry to exciting new heights in originality of design, technique, and use of materials. Personal interviews with artists inform the history of the cultural traditions in the back of the jewellery, making this a book for both the subtle collector and novice. Elegant photographs illustrate the wonderful thing about a jewelry tradition unique within American culture. Portraits of selected artists and black-and-white historic archival photographs complement the text. The detailed word list is a useful resource.
