GOLDSMITH-APPRENTICE
A jewellery making course for beginners, goldsmith-apprentice and
tips (techniques) for qualified goldsmiths.
Why Tips? Because in order to teach you how to make jewellery, you
have to sit next to me and watch me work. That's why in this book
Goldsmith-Apprentice, I can only give you tips on specific parts of
the work. Before we begin let me explain to you that different styles
and designs of jewellery are made in different countries and different
techniques are used to make that specific style.
I have experience of working in two totally different countries
where in Russia I use to make fine jewellery and in South Africa
thick, bulky and very heavy jewellery.
As fashion continues to move around the world and the classic style
that has arrived in South Africa, many of the goldsmiths encountered
problems due to them not having knowledge of the different techniques.
Wherever you are in the world, you have to learn all the techniques
to become a Master Goldsmith, to be recognised and respected for your
skills. As your reputation grows so will your business as well (or
your salary at first).
A little about me and what you can learn from this book.
I am in the jewellery industry for over 25 years.I started as a
goldsmith-apprentice and in a period of three years I become a master
goldsmith and not just because I passed my exams well, but because of
what kind of work I was doing. My designs, style of work and quality
gave me a respected reputation in a Russian city with a population of
approximately 3 million people.
In 1994,I came to South Africa and In 1999,I was offered to take
over a small jewellery shop which grew over the years into a big
reputable business.
I have trained many students who have either started their own
businesses or are working for large jewellery companies and earning
excellent salaries, thus having spread my reputation throughout the
country and many of my customers are from all over the world. The
local jewellery school also asked me if I could give lectures to their
students.
Some time back, I explored Interned Marketing and while building my
website, was disappointed to find that there was not a single
downloadable book available for a goldsmith-apprentice on how to make
jewellery. That is when I decided to share my knowledge and many years
of experience with those who are passionate about jewellery and
seeking help, as they may not have a good teacher.This book will help
you.
What is not in this book.There is no pictures, only vital
information. I have a book with 112 pages of one of the well known
authors and I have counted the number of pictures in this book which
is over 300 and some of them cover the whole page plus the page of
publishers, page of content, the introduction, page on how to use the
book, pages of glossary and index. If you take only useful information
from this book, it will be a very few pages.I don't underestimate the
usefulness of this book, but there is only basic information.
In my book Goldsmith-Apprentice, every page is packed with
information about work with metals and stones. If you want to see
pictures, just go to Google search and type the name of the picture
you want to see and Google will deliver millions of pictures.
When you work as a goldsmith and even if you only make jewelery,
sooner or later you will have to deal with people who will ask you to
fix (repair) their jewellery. I have seen many young people who damage
jewellery and stones. Just a few tips in this book will save you lots
of trouble and possibly money.
Sometimes breaking just one gem can cost you quite a few bucks,
possibly more then the cost of this book, $29.00.
So ask yourself how much this book is worth to you.
If you work for a boss it makes it even easier. Just tell him about
this book and he will pay for it with pleasure because for him it is
small price to pay when his goldsmiths will improve the quality of
their work.
Soldering metal is considered one of the most difficult steps for a
goldsmith-apprentice.In this book you will learn my techniques and
just with a little practice you will become a pro in no time.You will
learn how to prepare a new crucible before use, how to melt metal and
filings without loosing a lot. Again it saves you more money.Sometimes
when you are short of solder or a specific type of gold and there is
no time to buy or order, what do you do then? You will learn all that
in this book.You will learn how to make your own flux and how and when
to use it.How to make paste to protect stones and how to work with the
jewelery with stones in it. You will learn a lot about stones too,
which is very important in our work.
There is one big plus when you buy this book. Besides the
information, you will be able to e-mail me and ask any question about
something that I might not have covered. It's like having a master
goldsmith as your personal teacher.
