Depends on whether you want to know the "how" or the "what".
Dover book has "Chellini's Workshop Manual" in English translation. It is certainly an interesting read and does go into a couple of forms of hollow-ware and casting.
Of course, you have to put up with Chellini telling you that he is the bestest, greatest and most perfect jeweller, sculptor, cutler, silversmith, gemcutter, armourer, painter, poet, lover, writer, diplomat, soldier, architect, spy, tactitian.....etc, etc, etc that ever lived.
