Sara WithersThe Encyclopedia of Wire Jewellery Techniques: A compendium of step-by-step techniques for making beautiful jewellery

I am totally mesmerised by this great instruction book. Beautifully presented with great photographs . It is a pleasure to learn from this particular book and I would certainly recommend it.

Perfect for learning wire jewellery techniques

I love this book, as suggested by the 5 star rating! I have half a dozen books about making jewellery but this one is my favourite. I quite often find that books like this are full of designs, but a lot of the designs are ones I think "I'll never make that" or "yuck that's horrible!". But this book is full of designs I'd love to make and the ones I have made so far have turned out really well! The instructions are really clear and easy to follow. I'd recommend this to beginner jewellery makers or people looking for more inspiration or to improve the range of techniques they know (e.g. making different types of necklace or making rings etc).

Easy to follow instructions and a lot of ideas.

good product

I am a beginner to jewellery making and decided to order this book after seeing a number of good reviews. I am really happy with the purchase - it is a little on the pricey side but is very informative in terms of what tools and other pieces to buy when starting out. It also provides lots of good ideas from your very first piece of jewellery to further down the line when you want to experiment with different techniques a bit more. Definitely a must buy for any jewellery making newbies! However, like other reviewers I was disappointed that a number of the examples shown in the book do not give any explanation as to how you would go about making them.

Yet another brilliant Encyclopedia from Search Press this book covers the basics from using ready made findings to making your own, wrapping beads, creating chains, knitting and crochet with wire, twisting techniques, construction with wire & filling in shapes, rings, etc. moving on to more advanced wire techniques and a few basic steps for silversmithing. Each section has very clear step by step photographs and instuctions which are easy to follow. I would recommend it for beginners and those with limited experience of wireworke to expand your techniques.Encyclopedia of Wire Jewellery

I have been making jewellery for a few years but was always a bit frightened of using write because I didn't know how to. I got this book or at the library and it was so good I bought my own copy. Anyone interested in starting to work with wire would definitely benefit from this book. Has numerous techniques and styles and is a great introduction to write and a great reference book.
