The projects in this book cater to all tastes and are accompanied by concise step-by-step instructions to help you achieve a professional standard. There is a variation given for each project to show the versatility of both the design and materials used. Most pieces are quick to make, and once you have tackled a project, you can adapt the technique to make a matching necklace, bracelet, or set of earrings.

Be inspired to use the techniques in this book to create your own designs. Handcrafted jewelry makes wonderful gifts for friends and familyif you can bear to part with your work!
