Setting Repair: Professional Jewelry Repair Series by Alan Revere

Over 14 years in the making, Setting Repair documents the repair, modification, and restoration of gem settings in gold, silver, and platinum jewelry. At a time when metal prices are higher than ever, nobody is thinking about throwing their old jewelry away. Instead, customers want to extend the life of their precious jewels and heirlooms. As the only book ever written about this subject, Setting Repair is a valuable new resource for every bench jeweler and in every store where jewelry is repaired. Setting Repair offers clear visual documentation of the most common setting repair jobs faced by bench jewelers. Concise step-by-step instructions are accompanied by outstanding photography to capture every step in each project. Setting Repair is an important addition to the jewelers' library, with 143 pages within its soft cover and 163 close up color photographs plus 64 black and white sketches. The photographic artistry of Barry Blau makes this volume both unique and invaluable. Images
