The Jewelry Engravers Manual - R. Allen Hardy

A practical engraving guide, The Jewelry Engravers Manual by R. Allen Hardy covers the process in clear stages rather than focusing only on finished examples. This paperback edition brings together step-by-step instruction on cutting initials and inscriptions, with guidance across script, ribbon, vertical script, Roman, block and Old English letter styles.

It also explains monogram design, decorative forms for engraved work, and the correct shaping and maintenance of tools, with particular attention to square script gravers. With 89 illustrations, a glossary of terms and an extensive question-and-answer section, it offers useful reference material for both beginners and practising artisans.
