5.0 out of 5 stars A great book to start out, March 13, 2007

By	Huyen Kichen "Huyen" (New York City) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is my second book by the same people who drew and painted those necklaces and bracelets in the book. One of the person in the book was also a professor of mine at FIT(Fashion Institute of Technology,NYC). He was a wonderful teacher and his works are just amazing.

I recommend this book to anyone who is starting out in something like mechanical drafting or jewelry design. Which is what I am in now. It helps alot. If you need to know how to render a bracelet or a necklace, just look up the book and follow. Its simple enough. It also shows you all varieties of bracelets and necklaces that you can get inspirations and ideas out of if you have problems thinking of your designs.

It helps to have this book at hand because it shows you the techniques and everything.
