It includes all the technical details to be considered when planning a piece of jewellery, from an executive point of view . From orthogonal and axonometric projections to techniques (watercolour, tempera, ink, mixed technique) and different possible supports, readers will find a source of inspiration for developing their own designs. This is definately a pretty technical book and I did find it a little daunting in places, but I love it!

The relationships of volume, balance between full and empty, treatment of metal surfaces, warm and cool materials and the relationship between the support and the stone are explained in depth along with ways to illuminate jewelry, treatment of light and chiaroscuro play to add depth.
