My upcoming series of books on Period Jewelry and Fabrication Techniques.

I would like to invite you to join me on my adventure which I began last year by visiting my Patreon page. My Patrons will aid me greatly by allowing me to continue to do the research and Experimental Archaeology that I adore doing. All this will result in several print-on-demand, instruction books on period jewelry techniques where I will also include my research. This patronage will enable me to purchase additional tools, and hard to find research books, both of which will cost quite a bit in shipping and the exchange rate. Prices for .999 Silver and .999 Gold are painfully high, but my period experiments require some costly supplies and custom-made tools. Think of the books as part 'the history of the thing(s)' and mostly on how to make the thing(s). As much as possible I will show the period tools and methods used as well as a modern method and materials. Due to the Copyrights of the photographs of period, extant jewelry items, usually owned by museums or collectors, I cannot use those photographs in the book itself, except on the rare occasions that the copyright owners allow it. I have decided to, when possible, include photographs of reproductions that I have made myself, or that a friend has. In addition, I will create a website with links to each mentioned piece's extant webpage where the reader can find photographs and additional details. I have already begun to create an intranet version of the website on my laptop. I look forward to offering more perks and posts in the coming months. Thank you again for joining me on this journey.
