This is a wonderful reference book not only for a beginner but for a silversmith that has much experience. I have purchased several of these books for students!

This is absolutely the best book I have used to help me learn about Patination, enameling, engraving, inlay, granulation, chasing, repousse, reticulation and much more. The book was very well set up and easy to understand for a beginner, like me. I highly recommend this book. It is a great value.

Another fabulous book by the talented Jinks McGrath. This book covers a wonderfully diverse number of applications for your jewellery designs; Inlay, Enamelling, Chasing, Repousse, reticulation, ethching, fusing , foils, casting, granulation, oxidization, patination, polishing and more.
It has been brillinatly set out, First you have several pages on the actual technique used, accompanied by clear instructions and excellent photographs, you then move to another 2 pages of Samples, again, clear photos that leave you in no doubt of what the technique can do, and finally a Showcase (gallery) of works completed using that technique.
It is worth buying this book just for the photographs in the showcase alone! Overall, one of the best publications for budding jeweler's and students.
