This color illustrated book highlights the work of 12 Hopi jewelry artists of the last 40 years, with special focus on how they have added gold, platinum, and other materials to a form
traditionally associated with silver. There is also discussion of how the Hopi jewelry artists have used narrative and ceremonial designs. Introductory chapters chart the history of Hopi
jewelry and the Hopi Silvercraft Guild of the 1940s. Later chapters profile each of the 12 artists. The book includes about 200 large-format color photos. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc.,
