"The Practical Gold-Worker" is a comprehensive handbook designed for goldsmiths and jewellers, containing information on alloying, melting, reducing, colouring, collecting, refining, and much more. Clearly written and beginner-friendly, this volume is ideal for students and apprentices. Contents include: "Gold; Its History and Sources of Supply", "Properties of Gold", "Various Qualities and Alloys of Gold", "Melting and Rolling", "Coining", "Manufactured Articles - Locket-Making", "Solid Wire-Drawing", "Manufacturing Processes - Gold-plating", "Engineering and Chasing - Engraving", "Solders and Soldering - Hand Solder", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of jewellery making.
