Product Details The book begins with the basics: how to organize your workshop, what tools and equipment you will need and the different types of metals with which you will be working. There is a comprehensive chapter on the basic techniques of metal working which includes using rolling mills, soldering and the correct way to use a mouth blowpipe, buffing and doming. The author then describes how to make specific items, beginning with single-stone rings which demonstrate the making bezels and collets. From there he moves on to multiple-stone rings, cluster head rings and eternity rings and covers the techniques of mille graining, saw-piercing, claw-cutting and calibre-setting. He also discusses the mass production of ‘goldware’ rings – wedding and signets. The making and decorating of shanks and shoulders is described, as is the ornamenting of large bezels. There are chapters on brooches, earrings, necklaces and bracelets which detail additional techniques such as safety hinge and pin making, earring, clips and screws and frames for double-clip brooches. Finally the book describes the allied techniques of polishing, setting and finishing which bring the mount to its final appearance.
