Customer Reviews

Very clear instruction, attractive and modern projects
I've just booked on to a weekend course in jewellery-making. As a complete beginner I wanted an explanation of basic techniques, and an idea of what I can realistically expect to produce. Madeline Coles' book is ideal for me, but also a very useful tool for more experienced jewellers. Tools and techniques are very clearly illustrated, and a glossary explains the arcane language of jewellery. The twenty-five projects are attractive, modern pieces which take the reader through a range of techniques and encourage you to develop your skills. A 'gallery' section shows a few pieces by modern jewellers to spark off design ideas. Above all the format of the book is very practical - the lower part is a techniques section, which can be opened at any page whilst the upper part remains turned to the project you are working on. The spiral-binding means it can sit flat on your work bench. Jolly good show.

TWO IN ONE JEWELLERY
AN EXCELLENT BOOK. IDEAL FOR SOMEONE WHO IS ALREADY MAKING SOME JEWELLERY AND WANTS TO PROGRESS TO SOLDERING ETC. CLEARLY EXPLAINS ALL THE KIT NEEDED, WITH COLOUR PHOTOGRAPHS, HOW TO SET UP YOUR OWN MINI WORKSHOP AND HOW TO MAKE EACH ITEM RANGING FROM A BASIC RING, STONE SETTING TO INTRICATE FILIGREE WORK. THE ONLY BOOK YOU WILL NEED AS AN INTERMEDIATE BEGINNER. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

an excellent resource
This book is an excellent resource whether you're a beginner or more experience. The format, where it's split in two, is a great idea, as you're reading the instructions for your project you can have the instructions for the technique there as well
