Be inspired to create unique and fashionable necklaces, bangles, brooches and earrings.

Very few such books specifically cover non-precious material techniques, but there has been a recent increase in the creative use of non-precious materials in jewellery-making. This book is an easy and accessible, but thorough, introduction to non-precious materials and techniques. Examples of appropriate techniques for each material are featured in a step by step sequence, alongside showcased pieces from contemporary jewellers in different materials. Throughout are suggestions for taking the techniques further and developing original designs, and there is a final section of design briefs, which will show you how to complete a project.

Materials covered include: rubber, resin, polypropylene, acrylic, cellulose, acetate, nylon, wood, fibre, felt, cloth, paper, stone, titanium, steel, aluminium, tin, copper, leather, brass and bone. A wide variety of techniques are described: cutting/piercing, laser cutting, joining/fixing, gluing, drilling, colouring/dyeing, heat forming, casting, scoring and bending, laminating, vacuum forming, electroplating, finished, knitting/knotting, blocking and shaping, origami, flocking, beading and embossing. Projects include necklaces, bangles, brooches and earrings.
