This title manages to lead on from art jewelry today wonderfully. It catches up with the latest artists and mediums being used and follows the same format as the 1st book but more recent and "now".

The work in the title is inspiring and so finely crafted - there is no amateur stuff in here, its all exquisite craftmanship. A note to anyone who doesn't have or hasn't seen art jewelry today 1.... this is like a lovely coffee table book or studio inspiration book for artists, jewellers and metalsmiths etc - its not a project or how to book. But any artists who look keenly at work and really "see" it can learn from its construction I think.

Its a lovely book to have and I think that in particular people exploring and working with; polymer/resin/plastics, PMC/metal clays, gold/silver and metals and mixed media in jewellery will love the collection of works in both of these schiffer books.

A really beautiful book for inspiration to jewellers metalsmiths and galleries. I recommend it, its a lovely hardback coffee table sized volume.

This book is packed with funky jewelry of various media. The photography is great and the information about the jewelry makers and their inspirations is thought provoking and very helpful to other crafts people.
