"Opal & Gemstone Jewelry
Cutting * Designing * Setting"
By
Paul B. Downing, Ph.D.

ONLY $29.95 for 320 pages chock full of 306 color, B&W photos and diagrams.

It’s time! Both award-winning books, “Opal Cutting Made Easy” and “Opal Advanced Cutting & Setting” are now Out-of-Print.

Instead of simply re-printing both titles, the decision was made to completely revise and two titles, expanding and enhancing the text to include All Cabochons…whether they be agate, chrysoprase, petrified wood, tigereye, etc. DON”T WORRY…OPAL has it’s own sections which will include all the tips and tricks of the two previous books but include updated locations, techniques and contact information.

In his unique approach to teaching, Dr. Downing takes each of several agates and opals from rough through cutting and wax design to a completed piece of jewelry. The result of all the detailed, Step-by-Step instructions creates a book that will teach you everything you need to know.

Even if you have his original titles, you will find that this new book is in a class of its own.
