Customer Reviews for: The Encyclopedia of Jewelry-Making Techniques: A Comprehensive Visual Guide to Traditional and Contemporary Techniques

  

Rating 3 out of 5 - Pretty Pictures, Not Much Usable Advice
I purchased this book in the hopes that it would help me expand my technique with jewelry making and design. Almost all of the techniques covered in the books would take thousands and thousands of dollars in equipment and supplies to actually impliment. It's only really useful for professional jewelers working for big companies with big bucks. It is however interesting and pretty. If you are curious about various techniques such as enameling, reticulation, oxidization and mokume gane, than this is a good book. Even though I am a jeweler and an artist, this will just be a "coffee table book" for me.
Rating 5 out of 5 - Great reference book for anyone who is not yet up to Master level
This is a perfect book that combines text and plenty of images to demonstrate both bare bones beginning jewelry making technique as well as more advanced technique (including making some of your own tools!).
I bought a copy of this after taking it out of our local library and I am very pleased with it...Very thorough. Very easy to understand. For those who are really just starting out it's almost like the "idiot's guide" to the Complete Metalsmith...Not that this is dumbed down but there is alot of terminology in Metalsmith that requires one to know the foreign language first...This book assumes almost no knowledge from the reader, but doesn't babytalk or oversimplify either.
Rating 3 out of 5 - Good review
Kept me busy for a couple of hours. Describes the principles of jewelry making without the in-depth technique descriptions I am looking for.
Rating 5 out of 5 - VERY THOROUGH
This is like a textbook. Everything you want to
know about jewelry and how it is made. Whether
you want to make it yourself or just learn about
the techniques this is a great book. No need
for others...
