R. Allen HardyThe Jewelry Repair Manual (Dover Crafts: Jewelry Making & Metal Work)

I wanted to understand the basics of what goes intojewelry repair and creation. Can I resize my ownrings? Can I set my own stones? What simplemaintenance can I do instead of having to paybig bucks to a professional, it just can't bethat hard!This book proved me right. It's a wonderfulreference and text. It's not too much, it's nottoo little, it's not too technical. Jewelerstools are shown and explained. If you wantto build a jewelry repair set up in your homethis will show you how to make one that's justright for you.Someone said it's "dated", which I would rephraseby saying it's a good, time tested and true basicsource of reliable up to date information. Thetricks they use out there and charge top dollarfor amazed me. I'm a smarter shopper now too.If you want one book on the subject, this reallyis a great choice.

This is a good repair book for anyone. It has information about plating and etching in addition to all the regular repair stuff. The list of suppliers is outdated but the information is all relevant.

This is an older reference book for making basic repairs to jewelry. It has basic examples of illustrations that are sometimes hard to follow. Tis book is not for a someone beginning to make any repairs.

This is used book and very old but because of this I have a great book. The illustrations and text are very good to teach jewelry repair. Probably more advanced than I will get use. Although, the information is there if I want to expand my jewelry skills.

I will buy from this seller again wonderful product. I’m happy

Good book but not updated..

He teaches you in plain easy to understand language. He gives lots of tips to help you. He gives good illustrations to help you. And he explains things well. I'm glad to have bought this book.

This was exactly what the new Jeweler's Apprentice needed. I thought it would look used, but it seems brand new and it arrived more quickly than I expected.

This is a book that either can help the novice jeweller and the experienced one. Full of clear drawings and concise text that allows you to learn without any misunderstanding.You can notice the expertise of the author who gives a generous explanation that will improve your repair skills for sure.F.Tableros

Great book and fab, quick delivery

I bought this when I started working a jewellers bench to just further my knowledge in the field and I wasn't disappointed. Given the age of the book there's obviously some things that can be considered redundant simply due to modern advancements in tools and technology, but there is so much valuable information in this book for those who are interested in getting into working with jewellery, specially gold and silver.
