500 Earrings: New Directions in Contemporary Jewelry (500 Series)

Lark

Lark Books, 2007

Fabulous!!
I was extreamly impressed with not only the content, but the quality of the photos. It is hard to find jewelry books that display true art and inspire. Most of them are just cheesy "artsy-crafty". I would definatly by this book again and any of the same collection.

Girl with a Pearl Earring

Tracy Chevalier

Plume, 2001

suprisingly good
I started to read it and could not put it down. Some authors will spend pages describing a scene or a person, making a book drag out. This author, with a few words, made you feel like you where standing next to the character.

Hilarious..Worth Every Penny

North Light Books, 2008

Fabulous book in all regards!
Usually I know nothing about a jewelry-making book before I buy it, but this time, finding it was serendipitous. I had run across some of Sara Schwittek's designs on a website and I had written to ask her a question. My question was answered in her brand new book, so ...

Great persuasive book!

Sara Withers

North Light Books, 2006

Crafty book
There were 3-4 ideas in this book that really interested me, but overall the look of the projects is a bit too crafty for my taste. The photos are good. Just not really my style of jewelry.

The Earrings Book (Jewellery Handbooks)

Yvonne Kulagowski

A & C Black Publishers Ltd, 2007

Buy this for the diversity
This is a difficult book to review as I am not sure what the author set out to do. Kulagowski starts with a small getting started section, why bother, it is so fleeting it is not worth it. With comments such as "A wide variety of filing and finishing "bits" are ...
