3.0

An in-depth guide to making your own jewelry.  The book includes sections on essential tools and types of findings, beads and accessories, as well as different techniques for constructing your jewelry.  The projects vary from a very basic earring and necklace for the beginner all the way to complicated designs for more experienced crafters.  There are many different styles of earrings and necklaces, as well as other projects such as an eyeglasses chain, wired bangle, pendants, bracelets, chokers, and even a lovely brooch.  There is even a section on transforming beaded items that you might find around the house or at a resale shop into lovely jewelry.

A well-designed instruction manual for beginning to intermediate crafters with lots of colored photographs and detailed instructions for each project.
