In this companion volume to a previous publication, Handbook of Jewellery techniques, Carles Codina takes his readers further along the jewellery-making process. He discusses such topics as how to go about designing a piece of jewellery; how to implement the design; photographing work; making mixed media pieces; and how to achieve special techniques such as different texture surfaces and filigree. Codina also discusses the use of precious metals and gems, giving careful guidance so that the reader doesn't make costly mistakes with expensive materials.
