Title: Mexican Silver jewelry Details
Author: Leslie Pina
ISBN#:978-0-7643-3081-0 An excerpt from the inside front cover "This book includes examples from three categories of Mexican silver jewelry: 1) top designer pieces - hallmarked and representing the best technical virtuosity and artistic achievement; 2) popular silver jewelry - often of considerable artistic merit, often hallmarked, yet by lesser-known makers; 3) tourist trinkets - anonymously made and produced in relatively large quantity. All three categories are shown, while the most popular silver jewelry is the main focus of this book." KatieO Reviews It!
This is a great book with beautiful examples of Mexican artistry and silverwork. It includes photographs of beautiful inlay work using different materials, carved stones, and silver repousse work. This is one of my favorites.
