Very informative!:
I have bought 11 books about jewelry making (metal jewelry)from Amazon.fr and I think this one is the best.It is really a very informative book with hundreds of good colors photos.
Great techniques book:
This book is great for intermediate to advanced metalsmiths. It provides detailed instructions in many basic techniques as well as some more obscure. Find hints on making hinges, clasps, settings. Basic metalsmithing techniques are well covered. Patination, reticulation, granulation and many others are well described.
Great perspective on Jewelry:
I enjoy this book because it supplies a visibly european slant to the methods and techniques contained within it. I enjoy that because most the books you will find on jewelry fabrication are all written in english by Americans. We need to see more books with a decidedly european influence like this one. This book gives the jeweler a larger perspective on what others are doing around the world. I bought this book and plan on getting others by Carles Codina. See my must have list of jewelry books!
