Book Jewellery Making Techniques

The book shows more than 30 traditional and modern jewellery making techniques, from simple wire bending, engraving, embossing, casting or chiselling to technically demanding techniques, such as stone setting.
The detailed explanations and many step-by-step illustrations allow beginners to design their own brooches, earrings, tie pins, or bracelets in a variety of ways, be it with classic jewellery materials, such as gold, silver, and precious stones, or with modern plastics or an ingenious material mix. A chapter with many examples of contemporary jewellery design complements the practical part and shows the many possibilities of this fascinating craft that will inspire professional jewellery designers and anyone interested in jewellery design.
Jinks McGrath is a jewellery artist and has been teaching jewellery design for years. Her works have been exhibited and collected in many places. She has written several books on jewellery design.
