[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4362721, member: 2844"]I don't think anyone has posted anything on Native American or Mexican. So here are some: Lois Sherr Dubin - "North American Jewelry and Adornment, from Prehistory to the Present" It is a huge and stunning book (with a matching price tag). It covers the different geographic and cultural regions of the US and Canada, with many beautiful photos and good in-depth explanations. Barton Wright - "Hallmarks of the Southwest" Not just jewellery maker's and shop marks, but also marks of makers of fetishes, heishi, pottery, rugs, and baskets. Margaret Wright - "Hopi Silver. The history and hallmarks of Hopi silversmithing" Arthur Woodward - "Navajo Silver. A brief history of Navajo silversmithing" These are both older books, so no information on post-1975 jewellery, but of interest to those who like old pieces and an introduction into the history of silversmithing in the Southwest. Black and white photos, mostly text. Mexican silver: Bille Hougart - "The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks"[/QUOTE]
