From 2001 to 2010 Bench Magazine was the premier publication in the jewelry industry for Bench Jewelers, Master Jewelers, Jewelry Repair Technicians, Jewelry Designers, and Gemstone and Diamond Setters. While other publications offered theoretical advice, Bench Magazine was valued for its practical instructions given by working jewelers who are masters of their craft. Although no longer in print as a magazine, the timeless instruction it provided is still as valuable today as ever before, and is now made available through this series of instructional guide books.
