Summary

The ever-growing revival of vintage and retro style is the biggest fashion story of our times; with its universal appeal, the delicate charm and unusual detailing of vintage jewelry is fast becoming the leader of this gentle style revolution. Inspired by the best of a century's designs on both sides of the Atlantic, Vintage-Style Beaded Jewelry shows you how to create 35 delightful designs for your very own modern heirlooms. Deborah Schneebeli-Morrell uses a range of widely available materials to create jewelry for all occasions, including ideas to wear every day, such as a simple floating pearl necklace and occasion pieces such as a sparkling tiara embellished with antique crystals and tiny velvet flowers. Despite their glamour, many of Deborah's projects are surprisingly inexpensive; she shows how to use a lone earring to make a pretty wired brooch, how to use old china as a centrepiece for a ceramic clasp, and how to revive a precious but broken necklace as a charm bracelet. Ideal as a gift, many of the necklaces, bracelets, brooches, and earrings can be created in an afternoon. With tips on how to work with found objects, Deborah shows how to transform favourite but damaged costume jewelry and thrift store treasures into precious pieces that can be treasured for ever. Clear step-by-step artworks and the use of simple techniques such as wiring, beading, and netting mean that even the beginner can produce stunning results.
