Goldsmith Instruction In The Traditional Way Loyd Ontiveroz

This short book contains much information on hand fabricating jewelry, and really explains the process in detail. I have been making jewelry for quite a while, but have learned many new techniques from this. This book is written with humor, especially when it comes to doing custom work and dealing with customers! This book also goes into gem setting as well, and is very helpful in learning this, whether you are a novice, or have been doing this while. All in all, this is a valuable book for the goldsmith.
A goldsmith in the old school for forty-odd years, the author feels that some of the experience he's gleaned over the years could be handy to someone starting out in the industry. No CAD, no CAM, just pointy sticks and bludgeoning instruments, so prepare to get your hands dirty.
