Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: An absolute essential for all fledgling jewellery makers - Whilst the "Search Inside" option gave some indication as to the quality of this book, I was blown away by the sheer depth of information and guidance. The book is split down into 34 units with 6 practical projects that cross reference with the techniques taught. The units take you through the complete process, from finding inspiration, evaluating & translating ideas through to transferring patterns, piercing, annealing, soldering, filing and many much more. Everything is laid out in an uncluttered fashion with lots of photos so you can be sure you are following correctly whilst the text is written at just the right level - neither patronizing or too advanced. I must confess I am only a beginner so cannot really comment on what it offers those slightly more advanced, however it does seem to have so much information that even once my confidence and skill grows I'll still be referring back to this. A beautiful, informative book that I would highly recommend to all would-be jewellery designers. Review: Brilliant book well worth the money - I am a complete novice to jewellery making and silver soldering in particular. I had a one day workshop with a local artist where we made a simple bangle. No stones just silver wire. It inspired me to want to do more so I looked around for courses but many were just too far or too involved (City & Guilds) etc. Then I saw this book and everyones rave reviews. I wanted something to take me step by step and as the reviewers said this was what it did I thought it was worth the investment. I have used it like a course; working through each exercise and making simple projects not always the ones in the book but employing the same techniques. I now feel more confident and happy to try new, more adventurous projects of my own design. If you are starting out buy it before you buy any kit. The advice in it is superb and I feel I will continue to use it for reference for a long time. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 123,174 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 102 in Jewellery & Beadwork | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (440) | | Dimensions | 22.9 x 1.5 x 23.2 cm | | ISBN-10 | 184543238X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1845432386 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 144 pages | | Publication date | 1 Oct. 2007 | | Publisher | Apple Press | ## Images ![Jewellery Making: A Complete Course for Beginners - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IrFz3xGXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute essential for all fledgling jewellery makers *by M***E on 22 October 2008* Whilst the "Search Inside" option gave some indication as to the quality of this book, I was blown away by the sheer depth of information and guidance.

I had a one day workshop with a local artist where we made a simple bangle. No stones just silver wire. It inspired me to want to do more so I looked around for courses but many were just too far or too involved (City & Guilds) etc. Then I saw this book and everyones rave reviews. I wanted something to take me step by step and as the reviewers said this was what it did I thought it was worth the investment.

The advice in it is superb and I feel I will continue to use it for reference for a long time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Handy Short Introduction *by A***R on 28 June 2013* I found this a handy introduction to different aspects of jewellery making. Aimed at home-based hobbyist or small craft-based business so mainly deals with table-top processes and silver-smithing (logical, given that silver is relatively cheap and easy to use and thus accessible to small-scale activities). It is less a how-to book than an illustrated glossary i.e. it shows illustrations of a tool or process and names it. This guide to the vocab of jewellery making is very handy if you need to talk the talk when ordering supplies or selling work. My gripe about this aspect of the book is that the photos are very small - they do their job but being small I felt like I was peeping at things through a keyhole like a curious apprentice spying on the master to steal his secrets. Ahem. Not a book that teaches the skills it describes but then I am not sure any book or series of still photographs could do that but it does point you in the right direction. I'd supplement this book by watching many YouTube videos (now you know what technical terms to search for you can find the right videos for your needs) and maybe sign up for a course at a local college to get hands-on tutoring. Personally, I just make mala, rosaries, and similar prayer aids not fancy jewellery but I found plenty of hints about ways to improve my working process and I felt inspired to try my hand at acid-etching on copper sheets (to create art prints not jewellery) and thought the book worth every penny. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/50347721-jewellery-making-a-complete-course-for-beginners](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/50347721-jewellery-making-a-complete-course-for-beginners) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
