Product Description

In this book Christine and Sylvie Hooghe guide the reader through the materials, equipment and skills needed to produce eye-catching collections of sparkling crystal beaded jewellery. The themed projects include Venice, Imperial China, the baroque and Edwardian eras, and fruits and flowers. Styles range from the stunning and innovatively modern to richly colourful classic. There is something here for everyone, whether your taste is for a delicately understated necklace, an opulently glistening brooch, or a prettily pink hairslide. The easy-to-follow steps and beautiful photography, with each piece graded from simple to the more complex, will inspire even the beginner to reproduce Christine and Sylvie's designs. And from here imagination is the only limit to creating original jewellery and hair ornaments in your own colour combinations that will make wonderful gifts and keepsakes.

Crystal Beaded Jewellery
Beautifully layed out and easy to follow instructions with some great designs and projects. Very versitile designs that can be adapted to personal taste and style. I love this book and wouldn't be without it

Crystal Beaded Jewellery
This is one of the best crystal beaded jewellery books that I have come across. The instructions are all very clear and have projects that are great for beginners. The projects are all easily completed in a couple of hours so you can get great results without having to spend hours and hours on each item. All the designs in this book are very stylish and I don't think that there is one thing that I wouldn't consider making and wearing myself. Great (and inexpensive) gifts to make for family and friends. I have also found that the crystals are all readily available in the UK - in other beading books I have found some beads and accessories very hard to obtain. A great all rounder.

Stunning book!
For those who want to be introduced to crystals this is the book for you with stunning, eye catching projects that range in difficulty.

Beware - you'll be buying beads like they've gone out of fashion!
