Review: Very informative - Very informative book, good description and guidance. Good photos to walk you through the work. Could have added better pieces to create but a good book for my library. Review: Worth the money - I bought this book with the intent of learning to make jewelry to sell. I got more than I bargained for. This book not only metal working techniques, but soldering, working with wire, and beading. It also teaches you about finishing and polishing, the tools you will need, and how to set up your area. I would definitely recommend this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #179,428 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #36 in Jewelry Design (Books) #137 in Jewelry Craft (Books) #377 in Fashion Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 480 Reviews | ## Images ![The Complete Jewelry Making Course: Principles, Practice and Techniques: A Beginner's Course for Aspiring Jewelry Makers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818c0CedgAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very informative *by L***N on August 2, 2025* Very informative book, good description and guidance.

I got more than I bargained for. This book not only metal working techniques, but soldering, working with wire, and beading.

I would definitely recommend this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Beginner's Course *by L***I on October 7, 2010* I have taken a beginning level jewelry making course and find Jinks McGrath's book to be a very useful supplement to classwork. It is particularly good on setting up a studio, identifying needed tools and purchasing or ordering materials. The soldering and bezel-making information interested me most and the book is very thorough in that respect. Other areas very well-covered are design and the related topic of measuring to achieve design aspirations. Finally, the work pictured throughout is lovely and inspiring, with nothing tacky or tasteless included. I like this manual very much and feel that it delivers exactly what the title promises. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Complete Jewelry Making Course: Principles, Practice and Techniques: A Beginner's Course for Aspiring Jewelry Makers - Metalsmith Society’s Guide to Jewelry Making: Tips, Techniques & Tutorials For Soldering Silver, Stonesetting & Beyond - Gemstone Settings: The Jewelry Maker's Guide to Styles & Techniques --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1327740-the-complete-jewelry-making-course-principles-practice-and-techniques-beginners](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1327740-the-complete-jewelry-making-course-principles-practice-and-techniques-beginners) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
