Design and create your own stylish beaded jewelry with this stunning book on jewelry-making. Each design is broken down into simple step-by-step projects enabling you to make unique top quality jewelry inexpensively at home.
Unlike other books on the subject, most of which are either all about appearance or all about technique, Beaded Jewelry has both style and substance and is suitable for all levels of aspiring jewelry-makers. Maya Brenner clearly explains the most common beading techniques, showcases inspirational colour charts, and offers readers tips on what equipment to buy (and what not to buy!) and how to source the best beads. Throughout, you will find Maya’s exclusive designs, from formal earrings fit for a queen to casual necklaces for weekend wear, broken down into manageable projects.
Her business, Maya Brenner Designs, launched in 1998, and her talent for creating simplistic yet sophisticated pieces have caught the eye of many celebrities. She also serves as head designer and consultant for Luxe Jewels. For more information, please visit www.mayabrennerdesigns.com or www.luxejewels.com.
