The crafts of watchmaking and jewelery


Jewelery professionals - teachers and practitioners - have developed a method for acquiring practical knowledge of the jeweler’s trade. This document is exceptional because it brings together a wealth of practical knowledge in a single volume. From the first hour of learning until its completion, the book indicates to the student the exercises essential to the control of the gesture and the use of the tool. The method is divided according to the knowledge and use of each of the tools or devices necessary for the work of noble metals. Chapter after chapter, all the basic exercises to accomplish with the file, the saw, the milling cutter, the welding devices, etc. are illustrated and analyzed. The methodology chosen by the authors is characterized by its great flexibility, leaving the freedom to compose and create exercises according to the ideas of the master or according to the imagination of the student. After the presentation of the basic exercises, a place is reserved for the drawings imposed by the teacher then a space is allocated to the illustration of the student’s own creations. As the work progresses, the book is completed to constitute a work and reference tool that its owner can consult throughout his professional life.
