- The 2001 Edition is Vol I AND Vol II Condensed!My silversmithing teacher is having us use her copies of this book to get ideas of what we want to learn how to make. She uses these books as THE bible(s) for Native American jewelry crafting. She owns her own business and is well known and respected in the jewelry community. She has the originals of these books, where volume I and volume II are separate editions. If you buy the book and it DOESN'T say Volume I OR Volume II on the outside cover of the book (and it lists the printing as being 2001 ... Read More

- vol I and vol II ARE different, Tyler!maybe you just got a bad copy, Ty - my copies are entirely different from each other. These are great books for the inspiring silversmith. Get anther copy!

- This is NOT a 2nd volumeImagine my suprise when I ordered a copy of Volume II by this author and it is virtually identical to Volume I. There are two pairs of pages that are different -- the spoons are only in Volume II and Hopi-style jewelry is only in Volume I.
Do NOT buy both "Indian Jewelry Making" and "Indian Jewelry Making: Volume II" -- you're wasting your money.
If you're super-hot to make spoons track down Volume II -- otherwise "Indian Jewelry Making" will suffice.

I just re-ordered myself. This book is well known in silversmith circles and definately worth your $!

- Bare Bones Bounty for making Southwestern Indian JewelryI am an amatuer Silversmith, given basic instructions by a Navajo Sliversmith. Once a beginner has the basics then this book and the Volume II companion is easy to work from. There is no in-depth presentations in the one or two page photo instructions. Each project is laid out on one page in an excellent color photoghraph. At the top of the page the project usually starts with a short decripition of the stock silver required, with the tools pictured. Through a progression on the page, the ... Read More
