    The best book that I have seen by far for jewelry making and one if my favorites. Great tips, fun designs with step by step written instructions and awesome pictures to go with the end product as well as pictures for each step. I will be adding this to my wish list on Amazon and send it to my family and friends and my husband. Maybe one of them will buy it for me so I can add it to my bookshelf and so that I cantry my hand at some of the projects shown.

    Good book with many jewelry designs. Nice color pictures with instructions on 2-3 pages. Didn't have it borrowed from library long enough and will need to borrow again to completed designs on page 132,142,152,155,156,169.
