Creative Gold and Silversmithing

This book is great. I am a recent graduate bench jeweler, and I wish we would have had this book as a textbook. The descriptions and instructions are very detailed and easy to understand. It gives you specifics and also encourages you to be creative. I learn more each time I pick it up.
