This is the expanded edition of Mark Grimwade's ground-breaking 1985 book. It offers a solid introduction to the use of precious metals for students, professional jewellers and metalworkers. The author presents complex metallurgical concepts in ways that anyone working with precious metals can understand and apply. A genuine understanding of materials and the physics and chemistry related to them is necessary for the fostering of innovation which is so important in this field. Artists who work with precious metals are always trying to push the boundaries of what is possible and this book will help them to understand how to do just that.

Product Description:
Gold and silver have long been prized for their rarity and beauty but also for their resistance to corrosion and chemical reaction. This detailed examination of the properties of precious metals is designed to give jewellers and craftspeople a grounding in the physical, chemical and metallurgical nature of their materials, explaining, for example, how metals react to casting or working or how alloying can affect strength, malleability and colour.
Review:
'A solid introduction to the use of precious metals for students, professional jewellers and metalworkers.'
