Customer Reviews

Very good, but duplicates her other books
This is another excellent book from Linda Jones, but if you have bought her other books, then this one probably isn't necessary. There are some new projects, but many are duplicates from her earlier books.

Essential book - if you love beading!
I have a couple of Linda Jones's wire and bead project books, but I'm really pleased that there is a bigger, more comprehensive and inspiring guide - because her jewellery projects are always relatively simple to create, yet look incredibly stunning and professional! I really recommend this book if you're hooked on beading as it has such a range of different designs - great for making gifts for your friends, as well as adapting the ideas to suit your personal tastes.

A great reference book
A great book for the beginner and more advanced jewellery maker. Clear step-by-step instructions and photographs and lots of inspiring projects that can easily be adapted to one's own taste.
