Description
The bulk of this handbook is step-by-step case studies, comprehensively
explained and illustrated with photographs. Each chapter demonstrates
and guides the reader through procedures for making a bangle or
bracelet using a particular technique, approach or skill. Topics
covered include: wax-work (casting), chain making, wire work, found objects,
piercing, stone-setting.
Designed to appeal to both beginners and practising jewellers, there is
an introductory chapter on basic techniques, covering the
fundamentals of jewellery-making, complete with detailed explanations
and photographs. Each chapter includes a generous garnish of
relevant 'tips and tricks' - useful hints from the author and other
experienced jewellers.

'This accessible and well thought-out book is a useful addition to a library of jewellery techniques...gives you plenty to think about and illustrates what can be possible as well as helping to broaden one's view of the purpose of jewellery and what it is made from.'
