Jewelry Concepts and Technology
by Oppi Untracht Nearly ten years in preparation and production, Jewelry Concepts and Technology is the definitive guide and handbook for jewelry makers on all levels of ability. It is also a unique reference source for those not directly active in the field but who wish an understanding of what lies behind the jewelry making mystique. All traditional as well as innovative contemporary techniques are thoroughly described, making this the most comprehensive book available on the subject. The more than 900 photographs in color and black and white illustrate work of all degrees of complexity and show the incredible range of concepts which jewelers in all times, including today, incorporate in their work. Historic and ethnic jewelry, as well as contemporary work done by approximately 300 jewelers from 26 countries, are grouped under particular technical processes. This arrangement dramatically illustrates the mutual bonds between today's creative jewelers and their colleagues: historic style oriented, and anonymous, tradition dominated ethnic jewelers. The detailed text is accompanied by 377 illustrations showing tools and processes used to carry out particular techniques. In addition, 30 step-by-step photo demonstrations show master jewelers working in raw materials to finished jewels, some of them revealing their methods for the first time. Supplemented by an extensive index, glossaries of jewelry forms and findings, and an international sources of supply list, Jewelry Concepts and Technology is indispensable for anyone interested in any aspect of jewelry making. Highly recommended. Hard cover, 9" x 11", 840 pages.

Sample Gallery Create 40 beautiful, one-of-a-kind beads in shimmering silver, copper, gold and other metals. Comprehensive and profusely illustrated, Making Metal Beads is an exceptional reference presenting many innovative design ideas and inventive techniques that will expand your jewelry-making skills.
Start by familiarizing yourself with the tools involved and how to use them correctly. Master the basics of metalsmithing that you'll need to create the projects, then learn how to finish and string your beads, making them into stunning jewelry.
Some projects will teach you how to embellish store-bought beads with eye-catching decorative elements or transform their surface in unusual ways. For example, hammering a pointed stamping tool around a bead will leave a slight impression, while using a torch to heat the surface will produce a fine reticulated texture in just seconds. Sawing patterns of fine lines around a bead's outer edge is another way to produce a unique effect.
Other projects involve creating a bead from scratch. Try cutting and capping commercial tubing and enhancing the pieces with patterned, twisted or beaded wire; weaving tiny baskets; and fusing wire into cylindrical grids. Use a hydraulic press to push sheet metal into a dimensional form with softly flowing organic shapes or geometric contours. Or wrap patterned, textured, or hammered sheet metal into a shape that looks similar to a crescent dinner roll.
To further inspire you, many talented artists have contributed color photographs of their own exceptional designs. Your varied and distinctive projects will look exceptional strung alone or mixed with gem or glass beads.
The how-to in Making Metal Beads is organized into 8 chapters. The Basics presents the fundamentals of Sawing, Filing, Sanding, Drilling, Piercing, Forming, Soldering, Finishing, and Stringing. Transforming Commercial Beads covers Stamping & Chasing Round Beads, Cutting & Dimpling Beads, Reticulating Beads, Soldering Wires to Beads, Soldering Balls to Beads and Soldering Sheet Metal to Beads. Making Cold-Connected Beads shows you how to make The Tube-Riveted Double-Dome Bead, The Notched Interlock Bead, The Notched Center Connector Bead and The Woven Bead. Making Beads From Tubing provides how-to for making The Basic Tube Bead, Embellishing Tube Beads with Cold Techniques, The Wire-Wrapped Tube Bead, and The Reshaped Tube Bead.
Making Soldered Double-Dome Beads illustrates techniques for making The Double-Dome Bead with Centered Holes, The Double-Dome Bead with Holes through the Rim and Embellishing Double-Dome Beads. Making Fused Beads shows you how to make The Round or Saucer-Shaped Fused Bead and The Tubular Fused Bead. Making Beads With The Hydraulic Press provides how-to for making The Matrix Die-Formed Bead and The Pressed Tube Bead. Making More Metal Beads presents The Square Bead, The Crescent Roll Bead and the Eight-Dome Bead.
