4.0 out of 5 starsRecommended reading with minor caveats - 4.75 stars
By Robert D. June on May 3, 2005
Format: Hardcover
This book is a visual feast and factual whopper! With vintage Indian Jewelry gaining popularity, this 200 page hardback book is a 'must read' if, for no other reason than to enjoy the pictures . . . fabulous! Also, much credit is deservedly given to artisans; it was refreshing to see the old timers names alive once again. The price guide is nice but very wide ranging. I spotted one or two factual errors but in a book of this scope, they are minor. I am always concerned about 'back scratching' when a high volume of the photo credits go to such a limited number of sources (owners/collectors/sellers), which is prevalent in this volume; otherwise, I believe you can rely on the very well written facts and figures. The historical overview is excellent and detailed. But most important, if you have any old Indian jewelry similar to those found in these pages, you have something of significance and value. You can bet online auctions will be replete with references to this beautifully illustrated book. Like I said, must read . . . even more . . . must own!

5.0 out of 5 starsSouthwestern silver jewelry
By Thom on February 5, 2003
Format: Hardcover
I like this book.I have other books by Paula Baxter, and I new that this one was going to be just as good. I make Indian jewelry and I'm always looking for picture books on the old Indian jewelry and this book is "chuck full of pictures of old jewelry and tools that were used to make the jewelry". The pictures are clear,clean,and big. If you like the way the indian jewelry looked back in the early part of the 1900's this is the book for you. Paula, did a vary nice job and I wish to thank her for this book.

5.0 out of 5 starsIf You Buy Only One Book About Southwest Jewelry, Make It This One!
By Cheri Van Hoover on May 17, 2008
Format: Hardcover
Southwestern Silver Jewelry is a fascinating overview of the development of Native American silver jewelry in the Southwest. The many historical, social, and economic influences are beautifully researched and carefully described in a logical, chronological progression. The materials, tools, and techniques used to create this jewelry in the different eras are well described. The gorgeous, clear pictures accurately illustrate the points discussed.

Experts and novices alike will find new information and develop greater insight into the history and artistry of this remarkable jewelry-making tradition. This book deserves a place in every jewelry collectors' bookshelf. If you buy only one book about Southwest Indian jewelry, make it this one!

5.0 out of 5 starsNavajo and Pueblo jewelry
By Richard H. Cady on October 18, 2009
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I thought I had all the Schiffer books on Southwest Indian Jewelry and Textiles. But I found I did not. Southwest Silver Jewelry was published in 2001. And Amazon still had a copy or two in stock at a nice discount and post free! Covers the earlier work ... from the late 1860's to the mid-1960's. I identified several bracelets I own as being from the 1920's - with the stones having been drilled earlier for a ear plugs or necklaces - and later used in the bracelet. Fascinating that during shortages of turquoise the makers used Hubbell glass, drilled trade beads, Bakelite plastic, even plastic taken from toothbrushes. Authoritative, and profusely illustrated in color.
