Great intro manual/textbook/workbench reference! Extremely well done + beautifully illustrated. Covers an array of techniques. An obligatory studio reference.

I must add, that when I was gifted this, I was also gifted my sister's faith in me, and a glimmer of the support that she continues to give to me, as a budding jeweler. What a gesture!!!

This is a great reference for any jewler, it covers a little bit of everything which is great for getting started or to give interest in specific areas.

Really like a textbook breaking down everything you need to know about starting to make your own jewelry. Really appreciate the pictures, guides for beginners, and the section for those who want to sell their jewelry. Would definitely recommend this for those getting started.

Excellent textbook for beginning jewelers, metalworkers, and inquisitive crafters. This book covers so many aspects of jewelry techniques, as the title states, and although the author can't do a deep dive on each subject, she does explain things fairly clearly but concisely. Lots of quality photos and graphics. The photos of contemporary jewelry pieces is especially interesting. This book is on my BUY list.
