The book shows over 30 traditional and modern jewelery making techniques, from simple wire bending through engraving, embossing, casting or chasing to technically demanding techniques such as setting stones. The detailed explanations and many step-by-step illustrations allow even beginners to design their own brooches, earrings, tie pins or bracelets in a wide variety of ways, be it with classic jewelry materials such as gold, silver and precious stones or with modern plastics or a sophisticated mix of materials. A chapter with many examples of contemporary jewelry design supplements the practical part and shows the diverse possibilities of this fascinating handicraft, from which professional jewelry designers and anyone interested can draw inspiration. Jinks McGrath is a jewelry artist and has been teaching jewelry design for years. Her work is exhibited and collected in many places. She has already written several books on the subject of jewelry design.
