Making Silver Jewellery

by Louise Mary Muttitt

Silver is an exciting and versatile material for jewellery makers, both beginners and the more advanced, and nothing beats the satisfaction of creating and making your own designs. This book shows you how. Full of inspiring ideas and finished pieces, it explains over forty processes including the more advanced techniques such as fold forming and keum-boo and encourages the reader to experiment with their own designs. Further topics include step-by-step explanations with bench tips from the author's own experience; advice on the jewellery process, including how to gather inspiration for designs and considerations for making wearable jewellery. Finally, there is a chapter dedicated to the surface finishing and polishing of silver to give your designs a professional finish.

Good basic practical bench instruction, well defined and illustrated. I think it would be possible to use this book for self instruction in the absence of a teacher/mentor.
Lots of good reference material gathered in one place.
Accessible.
