Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Over the last decade many goldsmiths and jewellery designers have been inspired by jewellery of the ancient world, and have drawn upon classical loop-in-loop chains to create contemporary jewellery designs. This manual describes and illustrates procedures for making a variety of chains based on ancient loop-in-loop techniques. The illustrations by the author guide the reader, with a previous knowledge of the basics of goldsmithing, through the procedures of making these chains without assistance. Actually gold was cold worked as if it were a stone. There were only four metals on the earth's surface that were found in sufficient quantity to be used: gold, copper, silver, and meteoric iron. Gold was no longer a piece of stone but a material that could be flattened and made very thin. Sheet and foil are the oldest forms of worked gold. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
