About this title

Synopsis

The combined talents of three top jewelry designers, including a professor who teaches the skill to jewelry students, have created this practical step-by-step book. Starting with a fully illustrated discussion of design principles and metal and stone rendering techniques, this volume then presents progressive detailed sketches and finished drawings of many varieties of ring and earring designs.

From such drawings the manufacturing jeweler can assemble the objects themselves. This book teaches one how to create those drawings.
