DescriptionA favorite book with crafters is now reissued with a fresh new layout! No soldering is required to make these metal necklaces, rings, bracelets, and earrings; they re "cold-connected," using such easy-to-learn skills as piercing, sawing, riveting, and joining. So even beginning jewelers can get completely professional results. Work with a variety of metals in sheets, wires, and tubes. Create your own chains, ear wires, clasps, and other findings from wire jump rings. Learn metal texturing and finishing techniques such as chasing, etching, and adding a patina. Find out how to make simple settings for pearls, beads, and stones. Then set your creativity free on projects like a Circle Brooch with Thorn Clasp, Layered Cuff Bracelet, and Polka Dot Tube Earrings." ReviewsThis fine book provides a comprehensive introduction (and) sophisticated and contemporary jewelry designs. The instructions are supported by excellent photography, making each easy to follow. This book is definitely worth getting. "Bead Button"" |
