Product Description
This fully illustrated guide shows how to make all kinds of funky and elegant bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and pendants using beads and wire. It begins with the basics - planning a design, attaching fittings, making secure crimps, selecting beads - so crafters can quickly get started creating one-of-a-kind pieces. Simple wire-bending techniques allow them to make beaded drop earrings as well as more elaborate necklace and bracelet designs. Advanced techniques use metallic, sterling silver, even 14-carat-gold wire to make gallery-quality jewellery in almost any style and size. Featuring design ideas by a variety of jewellers, this book includes pictures and descriptions of tools and materials, a guide to common types of beads, advice on proper lengths and fit, and inspiration for creating a wide range of styles.

 Great Basis December 27, 2008
Great book for basic jewelry construction. It shows a variety of starter techniques that help you make more professional pieces. Good to have in the library.
 This is just the book, not a kit November 25, 2008

"All the skills and tools you need to get started" implied to me that this would come with some tools. If that's what you're expecting too, be aware that you get only the book. (This expectation was exacerbated by the fact that this product came up on an Amazon search for keyword "beading kit".) That being said, it is a good, well-illustrated book. I bought it as a gift for a beginner though and expected it to have some beginner tools along with it, but it just TELLS you which tools you should buy. I think the title is somewhat misleading.
 Basic Jewelry is a perfect start March 27, 2008

This book is a perfect primer for those who would like to make simple strands of necklaces and bracelets. I used Basic Jewelry Making as a guide to make my first coral chunk necklace that turned out really bold and gorgeous. Good how-to directions, doesn't make things harder than they need to be.

This is a great book for beginners. It gives you basic information in an easy to read and follow format. I would recommend this to anyone who would like to know what tools and supplies you need to get started and how-to's to get the projects rolling.

I love this book! All the previous reviews of it were right on! The pictures are clsoe up and detailed and the instructions are wonderful and easy to follow. I look forward to other books by the same company.
