Handcrafting Jewelry
Designs & Techniques
William E. Garrison & Merle E. Dowd
Contemporary Books, Inc., Chicago. Copyright 1972. ISBN: 08092752955

In the following chapters you are introduced to one or more basic techniques through the step-by-step process of actually crafting a piece of jewelry. This book does not attempt to teach the novice craftsman every possible technique. These chapters aim to help you develop complimentary skills to carry you one step further in turning gemstones, crystals, polished stones, and metals into strikingly original jewelry.

By using techniques involving flame, sweat and soft soldering and metal sawing in conjunction with specific projects such as making earrings, rings, cuff links, pendants, pins and bracelets – to mention only a few – one can learn the techniques needed for jewelry making.
