"Gold and Silversmithing tells the story of the State’s many talented gold and silversmiths, placing jewellery and silver-plate in the stylistic, social and economic milieu in which the works were created. Featuring over 500 full colour photographs, this beautifully crafted coffee-table book merges fashion, cultural history and craft. Gold and Silversmithing also boasts a detailed glossary, chronology and tables of makers and their individual marks - used to identify their works of art. An internationally exhibiting artist jeweller Dorothy had her first solo exhibition in 1977 and has since had thirty-five in Australia and Europe and participated in over 300 exhibitions world wide. This is the definitive history of gold and silversmithing in Western Australia - it is a must for any antique dealer, collector, jewellery enthusiast or art historian." - UWA Press website.
