5.0 out of 5 stars Lavish and inspirational, 31 Mar 2005
By A Customer
This book is a complete guide to the tools, techniques and materials necessary to produce key surface effects for jewellery. The instruction is clear to follow, and is illustrated with demonstration of the techniques and beautiful showcase examples of contemporary professional jewellery. Processes described include stamping and hammering, rolling-mill texturing, fusing, etching, enamelling, patination and oxidation, casting, press forming, reticulation, inlay and granulation. This book would be inspiring for anyone already working in base and precious metals, or for anyone considering taking it up. As Jinks McGrath says in the introduction, 'if your experiments don't match exactly the appearance in the photographs of the demonstrated techniques and samples, don't worry; that is not the point. It may well be that you have discovered something new, beautiful and exciting'. This book is just that. (NB. Jinks McGrath is the author of this book, not those named by Amazon!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference Book and for New Ideas, 14 Nov 2006
By Helen Quenet (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As with Jinks's other books this is a lovely book to browse through, the pictures are wonderful and give you so many new ideas. The book looks at 15 of the most commonly used decorative techniques, from etching to enamelling and fusing. For each of the 15 techniques the book gives clear instructions and pictures about how each effect is achieved. There is a useful Glossary and Bibliography at the end of the book too.
Recommend it for students and precious metal smiths.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very useful, 1 Feb 2009
A good collection of informative and easy to follow recipes, but dont think it's easy to get all the ingredients!..and don't expect them to work first time or every time, that is the nature of the subject.
