Beyond teaching the ability to render forms clearly for clients, this instruction will hone the ability to think three dimensionally. This book was originally written in French and published in Quebec where the author teaches jewellery illustration. The English-language edition features a new layout and more durable cover, but otherwise retains every powerful image of the original. There are only a few books about jewellery rendering, and none of them reaches back to the basics with the depth or detail found here.

    Through the pages of this book, jewelry becomes the most adaptable of pleasures, with pieces that are by turns simple and sophisticated, provocative or just beguilingly beautiful.Here is the ultimate in creative gift books, perfectly attuned to today's lifestyle: -- The high-fashion pieces are versatile and easy to wear -- round the neck, looped on the arm, swung from the ear, or decorating parts of the body.-- All the jewelry is ready to fold and form: die cuts, metal findings, clear instructions, and color photographs of the finished pieces are included.-- This affordable collection gives everyone the freedom to buy, wear, enjoy -- and replace.-- The authors pioneered paper jewelry. This completely new compendium reflects more than thirty years of evolution and innovation in their own design thinking and in book production techniques.
