This is not the book for me, but a decent book none the less. For me to learn how to do something like this I would need someone to sit next to me and step by step show me how to do this stuff. This book however is good for someone who is familiar with jewelry making and has done some of this before. There are all kinds of different types of styles to do. There is a step by step picture guide, moreover there is a guide at the beginning of the book showing what materials will be needed for each p This is not the book for me, but a decent book none the less.

This is an interesting book but it is for someone who already has experience with making these things already.

Some nice and doable jewelry designs for the beginner. The sections on tools and techniques is pretty abbreviated, but you get a quick start on making things. Clear step-by-step directions with photographs and lots of white space. I would have liked to see some variations on the completed projects. Some editing errors, like the middle photo on page 145. But this is a decent book to start making jewelry.

I checked it out to get ideas and/or tips and techniques but found that I am not able to perform these techniques yet.
