so much & more..I overlooked this book for ages - then I bought it and STILL kind of overlooked it.... Then I had need of some stonesetting info and help and I got it out and was blown away! Its fantastic - there is SO much in here that makes techniques make sense and also that seems to take some of the mystery out of certain setting methods. It has some brilliant tips and any author that includes; money savers, tool making (money saving again), cheaper substitutes that are just as good etc..gets an extra point or 5 from me! If your remotely into stone setting in any way, surely you will love this book - its thick and dense and full of goods.
Good reference book for techniques and images.I had ordered this book after flipping through it at jewellery class. This is a good reference for students at various skill levels. There are illustrations describing in detail the process of each type of stone setting, as well as photos of pieces where that particular technique has been employed.
Creative StonesettingThe book covers just about all the settings you can imagine and then a few more. Detailed and clear instructions with lots of tips. Clear illustrations and written in a chatty assessable maner.
Creative StonesettingExcellent book for the novice & experienced jeweller alike. Easy to read with good diagrams & inspirational illustrations.
Surprising very good book indeed..I bought this book as I've done initial jewellery training but time did not permit for all the different mounts and setting available to be covered in my course. I was so chuffed with the buy. It covers all the types of stone settings and mounts there are - that you can create. It also has some inspiring examples of work featured in it too..
However, I think the word 'creative' in the title is a little misleading. I don't think it is about creative stonesetting but rather about all types of settings available to a jeweller. As a jeweller you can then creatively apply the settings to your own jewellery work once you have mastered them.
A must if you need further knowledge on settings.
