The Complete Guide to Wire & Beaded Jewelry

We are so excited about Linda Jones’ Complete Guide to Wire & Beaded Jewelry that we decided to create our own exclusive hardcover edition, as we think you’ll want it around for years to come! By simply bending and shaping wire and adding a few beads for a bit of extra sparkle, it’s a snap to make an endless array of jewelry designs in all sorts of styles, from angular geometrics to frilly curlicues. See exactly how to do it with 50 oh-so-stylish projects that can be completed with materials you most likely already have on hand. Each project features: • lots of close-up photos to guide you from start to finish • plenty of big, beautiful photos for inspiration • tons of useful advice You’ll learn how to incorporate beads into simple or intricate chain designs, add unexpected touches with leather cord or ribbon, then go on to create the kinds of chokers, bangles, pins, pendants, rings and earrings displayed in upscale department stores and artsy boutiques. From a modern necklace embellished with colored-wire coils to vintage-style brooches that look equally at home pinned on a jean jacket or a cashmere coat, there’s something here for every style.

Easy for a beginner- elequent for professional
May 14, 2009

I love the simplicity of directions. As a beginner thats important. However, the projects shown in the book are amazing enough that anyone would be astonished to find you made them yourself. They are very unique and eleguent. I find myself looking at the actress' jewelry when watching my favorite shows. And Jewelry is something everyone loves, regardless of the economy. It makes you feel good. These projects are beautiful. As well as versitile and gets you thinking beyond into alternative designs that you can make yourself. I definitely encourage a person into beading to expand and add this to your library.

This book is definitely one of my favorites and most used!The projects are accompanied with clear instructions that include pictures of each step. I highly recommend this book to all jewelry makers from beginner to intermediate wire working experience.

An inspirational book.....
March 26, 2009

This is one of the best books that I have ever purchased on wire wrapping. There are so many wonderful designs with easy to follow directions. I had purchased several books on wire wrapping but the designs in this book appealed to me so much that I really wanted to try the techniques. I was able to make the necklace of multicolored copper spirals (and a matching earring set) in about 3 days simply by reading and following the directions. I began wrapping a "tiger-eye" polished stone (my first experience with wire wrapping) and with a few extra twists and turns incorporated a couple of extra spirals into the design.I suspended it on a pretty beaded necklace and you should hear the great compliments when I wear this piece. This is an inspirational book that will launch you into many creative designs after you have learned the basics. I have been "beading" for almost five years so I am not a novice in this craft.
