Description

When master goldsmith Alan Revere published Professional Goldsmithing in 1991, he brought traditional European trade education to the US for the first time, adapting it for an American audience. The book was a best seller and quickly became a standard text in the field. To mark the 2oth anniversary of this groundbreaking work, Revere and Brynmorgen Press offer a revised and expanded edition that includes new projects, scores of new photos, and a handsome new layout. What hasn t changed is the precise instruction that makes this edition a fitting testament to its predecessor. Read more

This is the best serious jewelry book I've known to pass from beginner to advance jeweler
Format: Hardcover
The book is a "must have" for everyone who is seriously intending to make a higher level of jewelry. Is the best book I've ever bought in the matter (I have more than 10). It has clear step-by-step instructions and lots of fotographies that mark the path for the beginner jeweler to become a higher level jeweler maker. When you are at early stages in jewelry making, you can find plenty of books to learn those skills. But when you want to learn a little further, the books I've found for that, always skip the key step or just weren't clear enough to learn by reading and triying at home. However, in this book I've found everything I need. This is a good quality book, carefully written, and design. ... show more

Completed a few of the projects already!
Format: Hardcover
At first I thought the price of this book was steep, but as soon as I started reading it, I realized it was worth every dollar I paid for it. Alan has a great way of teaching through making projects. Each piece of jewelry teaches you something new, and the advanced projects draw upon some of the earlier techniques you learned from easier/beginner projects to make some pretty complicated pieces of jewelry. I've already made the forged pearl ring (I used sterling instead of brass or gold) and made the tension backings for earring posts. You will learn how to make round and square tubing, curb chains, and even rope chains, for starters. If you want to learn how to make a lot of jewelry components you thought you had to order, take a look at this book. Alan even describes why you may have a need to make these things even if it doesn't seem cost effective for your business. Highly recommended! ... show more

A must read for anyone making jewelry!
Format: Hardcover
If you are looking for a book to start or advance jewelry techniques, whether you are student or experienced jeweler, look no further. This book is comprehensive guide, including formulas and tables for jewelers, explaining tools, best practices AND it has dozen of projects from simpler to complex ones with step by step, easy to read description and photos at each steps to guide you to a successful completion. You would be given access to Alan Revere’s 40 years of goldsmithing experience and teaching and he would walk you through creating : bangles, crochet chains, forged rings, basket pendants, solitaire cluster rings, etc. I cannot recommend it more. I love it and refer to this amazing book very often. A must read for anyone making jewelry! ... show more

Much thumbed and always to hand
This is my bible. It's very specifically designed for practical learning through a series of practical excercises, each one focused on one or two particular techniques. The finished result of each excercise is a beautiful, wearable piece of jewellery - and, for a student, it is, I think, the best of all books to learn from. The true beauties and values of this book, however, lie in the appendixes and tables of measurements and how to calculate measurements, volumes, weights - and in the fact that I have always been able to find the answer to any particular problem I face at the bench somewhere in its pages. I lost my original, full colour copy, and have been reduced to a black and white edition. If you can get either, add it to your library. ... show more

Excellent book with actual projects I want to make.
Format: Hardcover
This is a great book. I bought the kindle version which was ok but it’s really hard to thumb between projects and reference material so I bought the hard copy. Well worth the investment. I joined a FB group that Alan leads where we go through the book and make the projects. Lots of skills can be found to learn in this book! ... show more
