Just bought a wonderful book on chain making by Jean Reist Stark. I had
taken a workshop with her five years ago (on granulation) and she was
working on the book. It has every kind of hand-made chain with very
detailed instructions. Really worth the money.
“Classical Loop-In-Loop Chains: and their derivatives”. $44.95.
I bought Jean’s book from Metalliferous in New York City (they also sell
jewelry supplies). I searched for it at Amazon books on the Web and they
said it would be 3-4 weeks! I also tried the publisher, but couldn’t get
thru. Barnes & Noble didn’t carry it- said it was a text book. Here’s all
the info: “Classical Loop-In-Loop Chains:and their derivatives” by: Jean
Reist Stark & Josephine Reist Smith Chapman & Hall, NYC
