I am looking for a book on jewelery engraving with lots of examples of bright cut engraving.
Please advise.

BRIGHT CUT/ WESTERN BRIGHT CUT – A style of engraving commonly used on western silver jewelry and riding gear such as spurs, bits, Conchos, and saddle ornaments. This type of engraving is occasionally found on firearms, knives and banjos. Cuts that appear to be deep and reflective and scrolls whose backbone is executed with a wriggle tool pattern characterize bright cut engraving.
