"...one of the most comprehensive beginner's guides to jewelry silversmithing available." BOOKLIST 2/1/21 Silver Jewellery Making is a practical beginners' guide to making silver jewelry, with step-by-step projects guiding the reader through seven projects. The projects are designed to help the reader gain skills and techniques and eventually progress to making their own designs.
