Beginning student jeweler, have my own slowly developing studio and
love fabrication- it makes me happy!I have a fondness for sea
shells, particularly NICE sea shells. I hunger for on
“How-to” do various techniques and sadly, I find that the plethora
of books I have purchased from the usual fabulous jewelry artists
are a bit redundant in listing techniques and I somehow always seem
to need to know the exact thing that NO ONE has included in their
book. I am especially interested in learning unusual setting
techniques (a la John Cogswell, “Creative Stonesetting”, the BEST
book of them all).
