the first edition of this book was published In 1962, the author, at that time a young vocational school teacher, wanting to facilitate his students' learning. Because he was able to integrate the theoretical foundations so tightly with the practical requirements and experiences of jewellery production, ""Brepohl"" has proven itself to this day as a guideline for vocational training all the way to master craftsmanship and as a universal reference book.
