Title: Not what I was expecting... with some perks
Product review: As a beginning jewelry designer, I have been looking for books that explain technique and show examples of work. After reading others' review, this seemed like the perfect match for me. While this book is a showcase for "famous" jewelry designers, it didn't have the guts I was looking for. Bios and pictures of artists are nice to look at, but don't teach me anything about style and creation.What WAS helpful was the step by step description of how the pieces were made, and drawn diagrams of how the pieces featured were put together. Also, there was a picture and description of use for more jewelrs tools than I knew existed. These sections made purchasing the book worthwhile.
