    Not a whole lot to choose from. You've already mentioned one by
    Aldolfo Matiello "Jewelry Wax Modelling". Technically very good and
    detailed; deals with rings only,  focuses on accuracy and layouts.
    Follow each project in sequence and repeat them until you get them
    right. Another book I found useful for general interest and deals
    more in freeform techniques is "Modeling in Wax for Jewelry and
    Sculpture" by Lawrence Kallenburg. The 2 books by Hiroshi Tsuyuki
    are a little more special interest, and although some of the designs
    appear outdated, he shows techniques and methods for producing
    delicate and beautifully sculpted pieces. 

    Since you are in the Toronto area, if you haven't already taken a
    course at George Brown College, I'd suggest you sign up. The
    instructor I had was fantastic; he continuously stresses accuracy
    from the beginning and made you repeat things until you got them
    right. You learn much faster and develop your skills by having
    someone guide you and have a mentor available to guide through some
    tough situations.
