Professional Stonesetting A Contemporary Guide by Alan Revere

Photography by Christine Dhein Illustrations and layout by Tim McCreight

This book is intended for beginners, hobbyists, craftspeople, jewelry artists and professional stonesetters. Fifteen setting projects are arranged in ascending complexity, starting with simple bezels and advancing through a variety of prong settings. This is followed by detailed information on preparing a graver including four bead-setting projects and two advanced channel setting projects. Like Revere's companion book, Professional Jewelry Making, this book uses closeup photography and clear descriptions that make even challenging settings available to any committed jeweler.
