American Lapidary: Designing the Carved Gemstone, 3rd Edition - Henry Hunt

Good books on lapidary carving are hard to come by, and this is one of the few written specifically for jewelry makers. Henry Hunt draws on decades at the carving bench to teach the basic techniques for carving ringstones and pendants, giving you the foundation to design and cut your own carved stones for jewelry. Out of print for years, it was reprinted in 2012 with the original text and photos so a new generation of carvers can learn from it.
