The art of Jewelry making,
By nearasyouget (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of Jewelry Making: Classic and Original Designs (Hardcover)
When I read the dust cover of this book it gave me the impression that it was a book for the beginner - it isn't! It is suitable for someone experienced in jewelry making, and as such shows some beautiful designer jewelry with instructions on how to make these lovely items. However I didn't understand the instructions, which assumed a basic knowledge and some experience. Excellent pictures though!

the art of jewelry making: classic & orginal designs,
By David Griffin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Art of Jewelry Making: Classic and Original Designs (Hardcover)
This book is a heaven sent for most jewelers and want to be jeweler/designer. Well laid out with plenty of room for making notes along side the supereme graphics, the best detail that I have seen in any lack book in some time. It is informative with excellent use of other artists and the various styles of each. This book is a must for the library of every aspiring jeweler/designer.

Not what I was expecting... with some perks,
By S A Williams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Art of Jewelry Making: Classic and Original Designs (Hardcover)
As a beginning jewelry designer, I have been looking for books that explain technique and show examples of work. After reading others' review, this seemed like the perfect match for me. While this book is a showcase for "famous" jewelry designers, it didn't have the guts I was looking for. Bios and pictures of artists are nice to look at, but don't teach me anything about style and creation. What WAS helpful was the step by step description of how the pieces were made, and drawn diagrams of how the pieces featured were put together. Also, there was a picture and description of use for more jewelrs tools than I knew existed. These sections made purchasing the book worthwhile. 34 of 38 people found the following review helpful:

A rare find and a constant companion,
By M. North - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Art of Jewelry Making: Classic and Original Designs (Hardcover)
I bought Alan Revere's "The Art of Jewelry Making : Classic & Original Designs" to augment my study in jewelry design and fabrication. In it, Alan presents 25 highly accomplished jewelry artists, and detailed instructions to recreate signature projects from each artist. The book is filled with vibrant photographs and introduces readers to some of the biggest names in the business. So inspired by Michael Sugarman's 'Boulder Bracelet' on page 57, I designed and constructed an original bracelet of my own utilizing key concepts I learned from the book. Learning so many different techniques from a single volume makes this book a rare find and a constant companion through my studies.
