"All the basic information needed to design and make your own jewelry is
included in this book. Miss Hayes explains how to make layouts in clay and wax
and how to execute them. She discusses tools and materials, from her own distinctive
use of objets d'art in jewelry to traditional and non-traditional gemstones,
both precious and semi-precious, and tells where to obtain stones, how to select
them, and how to buy them economically, as well as how to set them. She
discusses findings and how to use them, and even describes how standard findings
can be used to create personalized, one-of-a-kind designs."
"... richly illustrated in color and black-and-white. In addition to Miss
Haye's work, some of it is modeled by well-known society figures and television
personalities, numerous step-by-step sequences show how to set stones, make

aspects of jewelry design and craft."
