Silver
Wire Jewelry by Irene From Peterson. This has good clear illustrations,
and lots of examples. This shows a lot of work with rings.
Moods in Wire by Ellsworth "Ed" Sinclair has
lots of different wirewrapping techniques. There are plenty of illustrations
and a few photos. Although well illustrated, I liked the ones in Peterson's
book slightly better, but there are many different techniques that you will
not see elsewhere.
Jewelry Making by Stephen O'Keefe. This
book goes a step further than the others, taking jewelry making more deeply
into the metal shop. Here, O'Keefe uses a variety of punches, a burnisher,
vises and other tools to add more advanced techniques. I'm not quite ready for
this book yet, but I pick it up every now and then and skim through it,
because I know I will eventually get there.
