Many people have at least one piece of old jewelry, often handed down from within the family. Such brooches, earrings, bracelets and so on may be of a good example of their type, but because they are unfashionable or damaged in some way they are neglected and remain at the bottom of the jewelry box. This book aims to encourage readers to take them out for a closer look and to help them understand the fine craftsmanship many of these pieces represent. All types of jewelry are described and illustrated, from rings to cuff links and tie pins, and their characteristics are explained. The traditional methods, decorative techniques and tools used by the jewelers and goldsmiths are detailed through easily understood drawings. Gold, silver and platinum are discussed, as well as the properties of the principal gemstones and the ways in which they are cut and set. A chapter on hallmarks gives a guide to marks as they are used on gold and silver jewelry.
