Table of Contents
From the inside cover:
Jewellery Manufacture and Repair was written by Charles Jarvis, an expert of long standing, in response to the growing interest in jewellery-making. It was the first book of its kind to go beyond the basic skills and describe the advanced techniques used by the professional. It remains an essential and popular guide today, and is regularly reprinted.
The book begins with the basics: how to organise your workshop, what tools and equipment you will need and the different types of metals with which you will be working. There is a comprehensive chapter on the basic techniques of metal working which includes using rolling mills, soldering and the correct way to use a mouth blowpipe, buffing and doming.
The author then describes how to make specific items, beginning with single-stone rings which demonstrate the making of bezels and collets. From there he moves on to multiple-stone rings, cluster head rings and eternity rings and covers the techniques of millegraining, saw-piercing, claw-cutting and calibre-setting. He also discusses the mass production of `goldware' rings wedding and signets. The making and decorating of shanks and shoulders is described, as is the ornamenting of large bezels. There are chapters on brooches, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets which detail additional techniques such as safety hinge and pin making, earring clips and screws and frames for double clip brooches.
Finally the book describes the allied techniques of polishing, setting and finishing which bring the mount to its final appearance. There is also coverage on the techniques of casting including the preparation of waxes and the actual problems of casting various metals. Lastly there is a comprehensive chapter covering additional repairs, such as ring resizing and claw repairing.
Illustrated throughout with over 280 line-drawings, this book will prove invaluable to any jeweller professional or amateur who wants a comprehensive reference book which covers the entire field of jewellery manufacture and repair.
