Carles CodinaLes Bijoux: Art et Techniques

The end of the 20th century saw a radical evolution in the jewellery profession: the field of application of techniques was broadened to adapt to contemporary aesthetics, which are keen on expressiveness and audacity. This book, which presents the basics of jewellery in a clear and precise manner, provides an introduction to this recent diversification of materials and techniques.
Accessible to jewellers, jewellers and goldsmiths, whether they are apprentices, self-taught or amateurs, it describes all the techniques required to make jewellery. These are then put into practice through seven detailed step-by-step projects: chased pendant, set brooch, articulated bracelet, palm mesh necklace, hollow ring, etc. Numerous photographs illustrate the texts for a better understanding of the different practices and possible creations.
