Another really good book, especially if you want to set stones is Creative Stone Setting. Can't remember the author off the top of my head but i think it's published by A C & Black. Well worth the investment....

Ok I've given in to a bit more retail therapy! lol
I've just bought the John Cogswell book and the Jinks McGrath on rings as well, I need to expand my collection to include rings anyway.
The nice thing was I ended up ordering them through the Book Depository and paying quite a bit less for them than originally expected, don't know if any of you other guys have come across them yet but they do have a large title range and in most cases are cheaper than Amazon

All things are possible - if you look at them the right way!

I have ordered quite a few things on all subjects from The Book Depository in the past and they are pretty good! Delivery can take a little long for my preference, but then you can usually save quite a bit with them.

I have not heard of the Book Depository! Have now bookmarked it. Only downside is that it is not part of the cashback site I use for school fundraising, but as it's cheaper than Amazon....
Ive just read a fascinating book called 'The Metalsmith's Book of Boxes & Lockets (Jewelry Crafts)' .....which was very informative, I got mine from the library of course, as I'm on a pension!
I think my favourite book at the moment is a newish book called The Jewellery Materials Sourcebook by Anastasia Young. It has a section on every material you could mention from acrylic to zircon and is very informative about techniques. She's a teacher at Central St Martins and she certainly knows her stuff.
I LOVE 'The Metalsmith's Book of Boxes & Lockets (Jewelry Crafts)' - surprise, surprise it's a Tim McCreight book. I also love Making Metal Beads by Pauline Warg.
