Antique Jewellery

Description

This book encourages readers to take a closer look at the old pieces of jewellery at the bottom of their jewellery boxes and helps them to understand the fine craftsmanship that many of these pieces represent. All types of jewellery are described and illustrated, either in colour or in black and white, and the traditional methods, decorative techniques and tools used by jewellers and goldsmiths are detailed through easily understood drawings.
