Review
Karenplatt.co.uk: The jewellery in this book is all inspired by the Celtic theme. Celtic inspired beads are used, but the basis of this book is on making cords for necklaces, rings and bracelets from Celtic knots. Eighteen fabulous projects are shown with easy-to-follow-, step-by-step instructions and clear photographs. You can create original jewellery with a Celtic theme. The book has a thorough introduction including a brief history, materials and equipment and how to dye your own cords. The knots might look complicated but there is no need to get yourself in a twist as the instructions could not be clearer. Start with a simple braid or plait and work up to the more challenging work. All who are interested in jewellery or Celtic work, will be entranced by this 80-page book.

Customer Reviews

Beautiful and unusual book
This beautifully photographed book shows clearly how to create cords, pendants earrings etc. in the style of Celtic knots.
The pictures are very clear showing the different steps and if you like chunky Celtic inspired jewellery you would most probably like this book.
It requires some manual dexterity to weave the cords, but anyone with previous beading, jewellery making or macramé experience is not likely to find it too difficult.

Good for all abilities
This is a book that's suitable for all ages, and all levels of jewellery making ability. The pictures are colourful enough to entertain children, and the projects progress in difficulty enough to keep even skillful jewellery makers enthralled. The photographs are brilliant, and there are full pages of photographs of multiple variations of each knot to inspire you further.
