Description: Everyone can make stylish contemporary jewelry with ease! This guide holds the key: simply take widely available manufactured metal parts (hollow tubes, solid rods, precut perforated sheets) and arrange them in repeating patterns that develop into complex designs. The techniques—filing, drilling, piercing, cold connecting, soldering—are simple, and step-by-step photos capture every essential stage of the construction process. Today’s most innovative designers, including Christine Dhein, Kristin Lora, and Amy Tavern, contribute to the 25 projects, and the variety of metals and colors showcased in their pieces yield stunning results. From Victoria Cho’s very kinetic “Guitar String Stickpin” to Joanna Gollberg’s magnificent cerulean and gold necklace, it’s clear the modular possibilities are endless! Turn jumprings, tubes and rods, washers and other manufactured metal supplies into stylish jewelry. To make these chic, contemporary projects, you'll be able to purchase a number of readymade materials and then enjoy altering and assembling them in creative and exciting ways. Learn how to achieve spectacular results using different techniques like drilling and soldering. Then put your own personal stamp on exquisitely hammered Chain Link Earrings, an Orbit Cuff with coppery discs that almost seem to be floating, the Galaxy Necklace featuring pre-punched square metal shapes, the City Lights Stick Pin which has unusual juxtapositions of tubes and guitar strings--and many more.Hardcover, full color, 128 pages Book size: 10-1/2 x 8-3/4 inches Level: Beginner to advanced
