Silversmithing for
Jewelry
MakersSilversmithing for
Jewellery Makers is a
comprehensive examination
of all the techniques,
surface treatments, and
innovations used by
silver jewellery makers.
Unlike more general
silversmithing books that
also include silver
ornaments, this book
places a strong emphasis
on the information that
is relevant to jewellery
makers, giving them all
they need to know about
working with this unique
and versatile material.
It takes the reader
through the basic skills
as well as specialist
techniques and treatments
for silver jewellery
making. Traditional
techniques such as
filigree are examined
alongside contemporary
designs that marry metals
and mix materials to
create unique textures
and surfaces. This
authoritative and
lusciously illustrated
book offers a
comprehensive and
inspirational insight
into the art and craft of
silver jewellery making
for today's artisan.
Profiles of contemporary
practitioners punctuate
every section along with
galleries that show a
range of finished works.
Packed with instructional
information and
inspiration this book is
aimed at the range of
home-crafters and the
Etsy.com market as well
as professional jewelry
makers who are looking
for a more detailed
insight into working with
silver. The comprehensive
resource section details
the practicalities of
learning about and
selling jewelry in the
contemporary accessories
market. Silver is easy to
work with, affordable,
and results in elegant,
stylish jewellery that is
above the level of the
more crafty
beads-and-colored-stones
style of jewellery
making. Being versatile
and malleable means this
is a material that
jewellery makers can
experiment with and also
use with a combination of
other materials to create
unique, stylish, and
highly sophisticated
looking jewellery.
Silversmithing and
jewellery courses alike
are highly subscribed,
and barring a highly
respected 30 year old
title, no other book
adequately addresses
silver jewellery -making
techniques for the modern
maker. The majority of
silversmithing books
focus on ornaments and
include a lot of
information that is not
relevant to the jewellery
maker, and there is a
distinct gap in the
market for this
contemporary appraisal of
the craft. With its
comprehensive range of
techniques and
inspiration
Silversmithing for
Jewellery Makers is a
must-have for all levels
of jewellery makers and
designers and guarantees
a strong position on the
backlist. About the

Since its first
publication in 1995, the
Encyclopedia of Jewellery
Making Techniques has
been devoured by students
borrowing a well-thumbed
copy from their college
library, established
jewellers wishing to find
out more about new
techniques, as well as
all those who just enjoy
making jewellery as a
hobby, who have kept it
beside their workbench at
home as a third hand to
help them through a
tricky process. Since
then many books have been
written about jewellery
making. However, this
volume still enjoys a
huge following. To update
it, a finished example
now illustrates every
technique to give a
context to the method
described. There are also
new articles on
harvesting scrap metal,
designing jewellery,
comparing metals'
properties, and a
wonderful demonstration
of precious metal clay -
a material that didn't
even exist when this book
was first published.
Doyenne of metal clay,
Sue Heaser, gives a
masterclass in this
technique. Jewellery
making is a rewarding and
fascinating craft.
Although you may find
that you enjoy some
aspects of it more than
others, the techniques
described here will give
you a thorough
understanding of all the
basic information you
need to create unique and
professional looking
pieces. About the Author:

that any beader
attempting to reproduce a

catalogue or magazine may
be discouraged by
attempts to find the

the base project can be
altered by a few simple
changes. These design

easy it is to adapt
virtually any project to

commercial chain - and
findings, and the tools
needed to create the
pieces. About the Author:

Friendship Bracelets show
that friendship is
universal, crossing
continents, generations
and all other barriers.
Friendship bracelets are
for young and old,
teenagers and
grandparents; from friend
to friend or from boy to
girl. You do not need any
weaving equipment to make
these vibrant Central and
South American bracelets.
Just learn two basic
knots, use a safety pin
to keep your work taut,
and then knot colorful
cotton threads into a
host of different
patterns. This book shows
- row by row in colored
easy-to-follow diagrams -
how to make twenty-two
different designs of
bracelet. Using eight to
twelve threads per row,
create chevrons,
stripes, diamonds and
many other patterns in a
carnival of colours. When
you have made your
bracelet, tie it on your
friend's wrist - he or
she will not be able to
fasten it without your
help - as a lasting token
of regard and affection
from one person to
another. It is previously
published as "Friendship
Bracelets" with ISBN
number 9780855328030.
