I am a fabricator and set anything from rocks to semiprecious stones. This book gave me many design ideas to incorporate into my style.

This is an excellent and easy to understand text. It enables the reader to make a multitude of settings in wax for jewelry. Easily solves that odd-shaped-stone problem for just about any jewelry item, be it a ring pendant or brooch.A bit pricey for the number of pages (33), but as I say in the title: There isn't another one like it!
