“I started out working with beads but soon felt limited by what I could find in catalogs. As a designer, I wanted each element to be of high quality and fit my design. I needed to know at least the basics of fabrication. Now, after several Revere classes, the possibilities of what I can create are wider than ever before. And the jewelry I make is of greater value too.”

When Alan Revere published Professional Goldsmithing in 1991, he brought traditional European jewelry training to the US for the first time. Professional Goldsmithing was a best seller and quickly became a standard text in the field. To mark the 20th anniversary of this ground-breaking work, Alan Revere and Brynmorgen Press have teamed up to offer this new expanded edition that includes five new projects, over 130 new photos, and a handsome new layout. Thirty-five projects lead students and jewelers at all levels through a wide range of skills, from basic layout to advanced fabrication techniques. Revere’s four decades as a passionate teacher are evident on every page as he leads us methodically through each step. What hasn’t changed is the precise instruction that makes this edition a fitting testament to its predecessor and an invaluable resource for jewelers of the future.
