Making Bead & Wire Jewelry : Simple
Techniques, Stunning Designs
Reviewer: Lisa Eaton Adams from Lake Ridge, VA USA
"The designs are attractive and reproducible. The artists are people that anyone interested in wire has heard of. The pictures are well done and make one want to get out the tools and have a go. All around good book."
Jean Stark
Reviewer: Deb Sawtelle from Portland, Maine
"The clear illustrations and construction techniques make this the best book on chain making I've found. Although I'm using a borrowed copy, I'm obsessed to try and construct all the designs included. My family members will all be getting beautiful bracelets and necklaces for gifts this year. I'm looking forward to the next publishing of this wonderful book. No jewelry craftsman should be without it!!" --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

"I am in the midst of a beginning jewelry making class and this book is proving invaluable. Not only are there beautiful examples of work pictured, there are in depth descriptions of which techniques were used to create them. A beautifully designed book - a pleasure!"

The Metalsmith's Book of Boxes & Lockets
Reviewer: Sherree from Los Angeles

The Complete Metalsmith
: An Illustrated Handbook
Reviewer: Rick Anderson from Michigan
"Unlike many art books, this book is very straightforward and cuts out all the BS I have found to be in many Art books....It is the book used in the Jewelry Class here at Western Michigan U. All the examples are well illustrated, and the explanations are excellent. It covers everything from materials to tools and techniques ranging from elementary to advanced. Anyone who wants to get in to Jewelry Metalsmithing should get this book."
William Seitz, Rupert Finegold (Contributor)
Reviewer: A reader from Bay Area, California, USA
"I highly recommend this book if you are interested in Silversmithing as a profession, or if you are just interested in the processes/procedures/tools (as I am). Well illustrated. This book is a find!"
