Cico Books Complete Guide To Making Wire & Beaded Jewelry Book

I already owned "Creating Beaded & Wire Earrings" by Linda Jones and found it extremely good for my purposes. I looked for more of her books and chose this. I am very happy with the book, although there is some duplication of projects (the earring volume also suggested necklace ideas). I was looking for new ideas and inspiration for my wire wrapping hobby. I couldn't ask for a better variety of projects and ideas, and i found the tips scattered throughout the books to be practical and useful. I consider my skill level to be intermediate proceeding to skillful.

My husband purchased this book for me so I could start making some wire jewelry. It’s been great having a paper reference to common questions. Lots of great ideas and a basic rundown of wire wrapping, what tools are used for what and the different types of beads. Perfect for beginners.

Excellent super thick book. Was exactly how I ordered it. The pictures could be a bit more? It could be my dyslexia rearing it's ugly head but some of the pictures feel like they weren't quite taken at the perfect time. Still completely with it. If you don't have to think a bit on a project you probably shouldn't do it to begin with lol

This is a great jewelry making book!! Has detailed information step by step instruction’s!!! Very colorful pictures. You will enjoy this because it is simple and fun. Well worth the money!!

Very informative

This book really covers a LOT of wire work shapes and projects. The wire work is then embellished and includes beautiful beads. So if you are looking for a wire shaping and design book you will find lots of tutorials and designs in this well stepped out book.

Lots of different projects -- from tiaras to rings. Instructions are clear and photographs are large and useful. I can't wait to get started.

This book is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I’m a beginner with wire jewelry and this book has lots of simple projects that I feel like I can handle, plus more complex ones that I am looking forward to working my way up to. I really like how there are lots of clear photos that show each step of the jewelry making process. One of my favorite pieces is the chain of hearts which uses copper wire and I am also learning a lot about how to incorporate beads into the jewelry. I haven’t finished a complete piece yet, I’m just playing around with lots of the techniques to try them out and see what I can do.
