Summary

Many people are tempted by the creative challenge of making their own jewelry, but using expensive materials and costly equipment can make the prospect seem daunting. Jewelry designer Linda Jones shows you how to create a stunning range of fashionable jewelry for a variety of occasions using wire and beads, and without the need for solder or expensive equipment. These simple by stylish pieces can be created with just three pieces of equipment and the minimum of fuss, making them suitable for even complete beginners. Bent-wire jewelry is very popular now, but it also has a proud heritage. It has been part of human adornment ever since early civilizations first began to work with metal. Wire is flexible, easy to handle and can be fashioned into a wide variety of shapes, but above all it is great fun to do and even beginners can produce beautiful pieces. The book is divided into six chapters according to colour and materials, including jewelry for weddings, and pieces influenced by classic designs. Five preparatory projects introduce you to all the techniques you will need. Each project in the book has clear step-by-step instructions to guide you through the whole process, plus there are ideas to inspire you to experiment with your own designs. Linda Jones shows you have to achieve really professional-looking pieces that will complement your personal style, or would be ideal to give as unique gifts. Whether you choose a simple wire-and-bead piece to wear every day, or a precious-metal piece for celebrating, Creating Wire and Beaded Jewelry is the perfect introduction to this versatile craft.
