What Customers Say About Making Metal Jewelry: Projects, Techniques, Inspiration:

Best of all they are all made using cold connections so you don't have to have a torch to create them. They are easy to follow and unique. Well worth the money. I love this book. I have been taking Silver Jewelry classes for over two years and find that the projects in this book are excellent.
I would recommend this book to anyone getting started in metal work. This is a great beginner guide with lots of fundamental information. The pictures are very high quality and offer a lot of inspiration.
Outstanding work. I have been making jewelry for about 4 years now and I've wanted to acquire new skills now that I've begun selling my work. This book has not only given me the help I needed to progress in the craft, but it has also given me ideas for new pieces.
Great illustrations and easy to follow ideas. So pleased I purchased this item. It is a very good addition to my jewelry making collection and is a helpful resource for beginners and beyond.
First off - learn a few basic techniques such as those found in the McCreight book "The Complete Metalsmith" - but then dive into this wonderful book. My compliments to the author - Joanna Gollberg.5. Cold Connections - incredible technique useful in many applications2. Photos that go with directions on how to use or make items.4.
I really wish I purchased this book from Amazon rather than my local bookstore paying $25.but then again, I was new to this field and have since learned my lesson.So with the above mentioned, I don't see how any metalsmith should be without this book, particularly when learning/reviewing cold connections. Projects allow for creative modification and can inspire one to move into a different design flow.6. The price. It is amazing how these connections can easily be hidden OR used as a design interest. What an incredible inexpensive book that has a plethora of information and inspiration. Why.1.
Gallery of metal art - not too excessive (I love the groovy ring designs by Beth Piver).7. This is definitely one of my top five books on metalsmithing. Great Projects - easy for beginner (trust me on this) but doable and interesting for the advanced metalsmith.3. Well written.
