I was recommended this website by a Maltese jeweller - Andrew Vella Montague while I was conducting an interview with him for another unit. At the time I only had a quick look around but during my research into jewellery design this site keeps popping up in a number of online searches and so I felt compelled to take a proper look at the site.
The site is a collection of information, ranging from book reviews to links to articles as well as a forum for creators where they can share techniques and tips with everyone.
I haven't had enough time to read any of the articles or reviews on the website however I am definitely bookmarking this website for future referencing.
In the meantime I've had a look around the library to check what books and magazines they have available and, I have to say that they are woefully under-stocked on jewellery books and magazines that have nothing to do with the technical side of the industry. Indeed I only found four books which can be considered critical or historical.
I am honestly not that surprised considering I constantly visit the library and browse their shelves just to see what they have and don't have - I feel this saves time in the long run. I considered placing the orders for the books with them however I thought that it would be more beneficial to me and my research methods if I were to buy the books myself.
