I see many hand made jewelry in the streets of Athens and want to know how hard is to make one. Rather easy to hard but needs steady hands. The materials used is this area for a bit more ecological consciousness and also is sad that such handicraft is not popular as a business in Europe. Can create 1000s of jobs, minimize the need for silver and gold mining and save those for use in space industry. Maybe one day this world will change, let's see.

A really great guide to the tools and techniques as well as step by step directions. Some very beautiful and versatile designs. I'm glad I stumbled across this in the library!

Another awesome book. I will have to add this to my wish list so I can play around with their ideas and make them more mine.

Useful. I found several interesting patterns to try out, and gained knowledge of a technique I hadn't used before that I've found quite useful since.
