Written for the jeweler who wishes to expand his jewelry repair department, this profusely illustrated manual will help both novices and experienced crafters. It provides clear, step-by-step instructions for cleaning and repairing jewelry and setting stones, as well as complete descriptions of the tools and equipment needed, and their proper use and care. Newcomers to the trade will find detailed explanations of such basic procedures as filing, soldering, buffing, and mounting presented in full detail.

With this simply written guide, jewelers will be able to perform a wide range of repair jobs on premises, enabling them to offer customers faster, better service. This will not only increase repair volume but will help sales as well. For this updated edition, Mr. Hardy has added an extensive appendix reprinting questions and his answers to them from American Horologist and Jeweler, of which he was technical editor for sixteen years, along with discussions of various salient topics.

    • An Excellent First Book On The Subject!
Format: Paperback
I wanted to understand the basics of what goes into jewelry repair and creation. Can I resize my own rings? Can I set my own stones? What simple maintenance can I do instead of having to pay big bucks to a professional, it just can't be that hard! This book proved me right. It's a wonderful reference and text. It's not too much, it's not too little, it's not too technical. Jewelers tools are shown and explained. If you want to build a jewelry repair set up in your home this will show you how to make one that's just right for you. Someone said it's "dated", which I would rephrase by saying it's a good, time tested and true basic source of reliable up to date information. The tricks they use out there and charge top dollar for amazed me. I'm a smarter shopper now too. If you want one book on the subject, this really is a great choice. ... show more

Format: Hardcover
This is used book and very old but because of this I have a great book. The illustrations and text are very good to teach jewelry repair. Probably more advanced than I will get use. Although, the information is there if I want to expand my jewelry skills.
