Packed with hundreds of colour how-to photographs, images of contemporary work, and time-tested tips - this spectacular guide will become an essential addition to every jeweller's library. All the basics are covered such as: sawing, piercing and soldering metal with advanced skills such as granulation, enameling, stone setting, and simple casting. Every unique project reinforces the techniques - create the stunning Bubbles Brooch by hollow-forming silver, adding pearls, and attaching pin findings. Or, make a handsome lapel pin by cuttlefish-casting 18-carat gold; then set a brilliant sapphire on the textured surface. Each chapter features a substantial gallery of contemporary pieces.
