Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
You had better like heavyweight bracelets, necklaces, and earrings if you intend to repurpose, recycle, and reuse, since that’s the focus of Aimone’s latest craft book (added to The Beaded Home, 2002; The Art of Jewelry: Polymer Clay, 2006; The Adventurous Scrapbooker, 2007). Selecting the work of 21 designers across the country, she pulls together a good foundation in materials and techniques, then lets the 35 items speak for themselves. Inspiration is high from page 1; the author lists literally dozens of items ready to be charmed, from arcades with penny-smashing machines to one-of-a-kind vintage earrings (read: a singlet piece of jewelry because one of the pair was lost). Techniques, too, abound in well-illustrated directions, whether reaming (drilling a hole) a bead or using jump rings. Designs follow, divided into beginner and intermediate projects, all with the usual explanations and lists plus generous tips that can save time and money. --Barbara Jacobs

Product Description
From a reconstructed vintage necklace that incorporates family heirlooms to a locket collar with trinkets and ribbon, these projects are literally charm-filled. This latest entry in the popular Beading with series goes way beyond the familiar charm bracelet; it features unique pieces that are fresh, fashionable, fabulous, and fun. And you’ll be amazed at the found, fabricated, and repurposed objects the talented artists have dangling from their jewelry: Swarovski hearts, salvaged keys, board game bits, travel mementoes, and more. Some of the creations—including earrings made from Cracker Jack prizes—strike a nostalgic chord; others, like the Rustic Charms design with silvery discs and clusters of freshwater pearls, have a touch of elegance. Every crafter will find one to make her own.
