This book is full of useful information and some tantalizing glimpses of beautiful inspirational pieces. Highly recommended as a manual in any metal worker's studio.-- (07/11/2016) This book is written for amateur and professional jewelers. It is divided into an introductory chapter and five major sections: Shaping, Decoration, Wirework, Casting, and Stone Setting. Each section also has two divisions: Best Practice and Fix-Its. What is nice about this book is that it is extensively illustrated in color, and that it is quite detailed in its descriptions. Step-by-step procedures are the norm, with both color pictures and textual guidelines... The book is definitely geared towards the how-to-do-it-yourself (DIY) crowd, and would probably fit in well in most public libraries and technical colleges who have curriculum in this area.-- (03/01/2018)
