Description

A clear and practical introduction to making neckpieces for both the
beginner and the practising jeweller looking for a new direction.
Step-by-step illustrated projects, contributed by a range of different
international makers, demonstrate the different processes and
approaches involved in making different kinds of necklaces and
pendants. There will be an appendix of basic techniques covering the
fundamentals: piercing, filing, annealing, soldering and pickling,
complete with detailed explanations and photographs. Each new chapter
will begin with a list of the necessary techniques and methods
contained therein, so readers who need to brush up their skills can
flick to the appendix before beginning the project. The book also
includes an entire chapter devoted to the design and construction of
clasps.
