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 crafters 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.

Book specifications: wirebound paperback, 116 pgs., 8 1/2 in. x 11 in.
