Chainmaking for Jewelers is for those who want to create chains at a high technical and craftsmanship level. The book is regarded as the most comprehensive guide to chainmaking published to date and serves as a textbook, reference work, and source of inspiration in the workshop.

Over a five-year period, the author, Matthieu Chemiee, has systematically developed and fabricated more than 100 different chain types. Each chain is documented step by step with precise photos and explanations, making the working process easy to follow—whether you are in training or have many years of experience at the bench. The book explores both classic goldsmithing techniques and modern workshop practices in depth, making it particularly relevant in a professional context.

The content is logically structured and organized by chain styles, allowing you to quickly find the technique or type you are working with. The projects range from beginner level to advanced, technically demanding solutions. A dedicated chapter focuses on no-solder chains, which is especially interesting for those working with alternative constructions.

A detailed table of contents makes the book easy to use as a reference in a busy everyday workflow where precision and efficiency are essential.
