The metal smithing arts and art form used in the way of body adornment. It does contain more then the previous book, but less than the latest Pro edition of the Complete Metalsmith.
Another or maybe the only one if you are unsure of your knowledge base about getting in to making jewelry.
It is filled with color pictures of work by a large number of metal smiths/artist. Along with both B&W and color drawings.
It is a eye candy delight if nothing else.
This is another that ends up in a lot of libraries.
