Book Wood and Silver Jewellery

The turner and author, Helga Becker, and the goldsmith, Manuela Seiz, have been designing jewellery from wood and silver together for years - this book gives an insight into their work and, at the same time, presents ten projects to follow.

The step-by-step instructions provide an introduction to the basic techniques of wood and silver working. Objects in various levels of difficulty - finger rings, brooches, a bangle, necklaces, and earrings - are intended for both, beginners and advanced. The gallery section, showing numerous pieces of jewellery, particularly encourages you to develop additional jewellery objects of your own.
