Antique and Vintage Jewelry Designs

For those of you with an interest in antique and vintage jewelry, there is an excellent wire- and silver-crafting jewelry design book, replete with several dozen detailed designs. The majority of the designs are early 20th century. All are wire based.

The book is:

Jewelry Making and Design
An illustrated text book for Teachers,
Students of Design, and Craft Workers in Jewelry
Augustus F. Rose and Antonio Cirino
Metal Crafts Publishing Co.
Providence, R.I.
Copyright 1917

As I understand it, the book's copyright has expired, which means it is in the public domain. I have been sketching my own wire-work jewelry designs, influenced by this book. A few of the designs are over at my "RingBling - Chainmaille and Wire Jewelry" blog. However, that blog hasn't been updated in a while. I'll be posting more designs there in the future, once I can a bit of time to copy my pencil sketches into my computer.
