EA mit der Verfassersignatur auf Vorsatzapier. „Do not be put off by the „design“ in Design and Creation of Jewelry or that you will have to get a used copy. This book is mostly about how to make jewelry and art metal. Unlike too many contemporary „how to“ books, Von Newmann gives enough detail on basic techniques for the beginner to get the job done. If you are a beginner, this book and some classroom instruction will get you started. If you are an expert you still will find useful tips.
I have read and used at least fifty jewelry making books, some older and many contemporary, and find this to be one of the most useful to a beginner compared to superficial survey books such as The Complete Metalsmith. Because of its age, some information is outdated. For example, today many people would epoxy a pearl on a textured stud instead of mechanically attaching it using a wedge and we now know that asbestos is too dangerous to use.“ (Internet)
