This volume profiles over 1,200 Indian jewelers from all tribes over the past two centuries. The text is illustrated with over 2,000 photographs. This book was created with the cooperation of Indian artists. Through artist surveys, archival research and personal interviews, information was collected in 25 categories: including the artist's tribe, clan, active years, type of jewelry, lifespan, family relationships, education, teachers, students, awards, exhibitions, collections, forms, techniques, materials, favorite designs, and publications. Websites and email addresses were listed when possible. Many completed a personal statement, "I enjoy creating artwork, because..." Some wrote or narrated autobiographical statements.

This review is from: American Indian Jewelry I: 1200 Artist Biographies (American Indian Art Series) (Hardcover)
An essential for any collector of contemporary Native American jewelry, supplementing Barton Wright's 1989 "Hallmarks of the Southwest." Great color plates depicting a variety of types and styles. Would like to have an index of hallmarks, or at least pictures of them rather than just verbal description.
