This fully illustrated guide shows how to make all kinds of funky and
elegant bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and pendants using beads and wire. It
begins with the basics--planning a design, attaching fittings, making secure
crimps, selecting beads--so crafters can quickly get started creating
one-of-a-kind pieces. Simple wire-bending techniques allow them to make beaded
drop earrings as well as more elaborate necklace and bracelet designs.
Advanced techniques use metallic, sterling silver, even 14-carat-gold wire to
make gallery-quality jewelry in almost any style and size. Featuring design
ideas by a variety of jewelers, this book includes pictures and descriptions
of tools and materials, a guide to common types of beads, advice on proper
lengths and fit, and inspiration for creating a wide range of styles.
