Turquoise Jewelry of the Indians of the Southwest by Edna Bennett, Edna M.&John F. Bennett (1973)

This is an outstanding book for someone that wants to learn the basics of Native American Jewelry. It goes over construction techniques, trading posts, so many aspects of this collecting obsession that many of us have! It was written in 1973, so it is nice to learn what was going on then as well. It gives one some insight when purchasing vintage pieces from that era. Edna Bennett wrote this book during the last year of her life. Thank you Edna!
