    • Beautiful book
Format: Hardcover
Very happy with this book. Although it was sold as used in good condition, In fact it is in New condition. If it was sold as new, I'd have no complaint! Great value!!

    • Overview - perfect for an encyclopedia
Format: Hardcover
McGrath produces books that are of high quality and this is another one; however, when it states in the title "Encyclopedia" believe it. It is organized alphabetically. Yet the images and some of the guidelines for several techniques are excellent. USE THIS BOOK AS A REFERENCE. Some of the images showing a specific process/technique can be followed through by the reader to produce an interesting piece of jewelry...but the author does not do this for you. It is definitely a book for the intermediate to advanced jewelry-maker/metal designer. The section at the end "Themes" are definitely high end pieces photographed beautifully. Some information is provided by the image that indicate what the process was behind the development/design of each piece, but not enough to truly be helpful if you wanted to design something similar. Reference - Excellent Guidelines/How Tos - good to OK Images - Excellent Creative process - OK to very good Overall Book Organization - alphabetical (so know the technique you want to review before trying to find it in the book) Recommended Level - intermediate to advanced jewelry designer/metal artist ... show more

    • Great book, test your interest in making "real" jewelry
Format: Hardcover
If you just want to buy pieces and put them together- this is not the book for you. If you honestly want to learn jewelers skills then you will be pleased with this book. I have really enjoyed this book and it has led to many new ideas. This one will stay in my library.

    • Pretty Pictures, Not Much Usable Advice
Format: Hardcover
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. ... show more
