Synopsis
Featuring original ideas from top jewelry designers, this collection covers a range of contemporary and stylish projects, such as bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and pendants. Beginning with a primer on basic tools and techniques and covering fundamental wire-working skills in detail, including wire-wrapping, weaving, coiling, chain-making, hammering, texturing, and oxidizing, this guide helps jewelry makers of all skills levels develop a range of talents. Each project includes a comprehensive materials list and step-by-step instructions that guide crafters through a variety of projects, including wrapping found objects with wire, making chain mail, creating spirals, straightening wire, making jump rings and ear wires, and creating clasps. Constructed with many different materials—from precious metals to plated and colored wire—these striking creations are a mix of funky and fabulous wire designs combined with stones, beads, and cords to create an interesting and eclectic jewelry collection.
About.com Guide to Jewelry Making
I would recommend this book to beginners who want to learn some fairly simple wire jewelry techniques as well as more advanced jewelry makers who are looking for more wire jewelry designs.

07/28/2009: The photos in this book are gorgeous and there is a variety of different jewelry that can be made. However, all the instructions for the different techniques are at the beginning of the book, so when you get to a project you like, you are constantly flipping back and forth to see the technique.
The book would have been so much better if there were photos of the steps to create each of the pieces. Since there isn't, I don't recommend this book, except to look at the photos.
