Silver chains are the basic item of any jewellery collection, and the 20 distinctive designs in this book have all those special handmade touches that machine-made jewellery just can't match: magnificent hammered silver; intriguingly complex links; and common motifs twisted into charming patterns. Anyone can craft these designs; the book explains all the basic skills, from link formation to soldering and polishing. It covers: materials; studio essentials; tools, pliers and cutters; shaping and filing; hammers and blocks; soldering; polishing; safety; working with wire; and cold forging.
