Beaded Jewellery,
By
This review is from: Glamorous Beaded Jewelry: Bracelets, Necklaces, Earrings, and Rings (Paperback)
A very nice book - great instructions and pictures. Most of the jewellery is made with wire as opposed to thread. Beads are certainly easily obtained from any good bead shop. I would recommend to anyone who likes working with wire.

Teen's Review,
By Eva Talia "Eva" (MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Glamorous Beaded Jewelry: Bracelets, Necklaces, Earrings, and Rings (Paperback)
I LOVE beading and this book was a very nice one. I looked through over 20 bead books to find just the right one of my favorite two. I like that the instructions are in depth but not too complicated. The pictures are really helpful and motivating. I feel like I am capable of creating anything in this book. For absolute beginners, I think some of the projects are too much especially for those who have little patience. I thought that some of the pieces were gorgeous but a couple of them I really dislike.
For You if... you have patience you've had a little experience in beading you have the supplies (all the plyers, some beads, etc.) you're easily inspired you want a book that uses a wide range of tecniques Not For You if... you're just starting beading you don't want to make jewelry you want something REALLY different you're looking for strictly an inspirational book you don't like transparent beads and light colors (they use a lot of those)

Easy to purchase supplies,
By
This review is from: Glamorous Beaded Jewelry: Bracelets, Necklaces, Earrings, and Rings (Paperback)
I bought this book thinking it would be impossible to find the supplies to do the projects in it and that the projects would be way out of my league. Boy, was I surprised to see that most of the beads I could get at my local bead store or I had them on hand! Good Book! Actually some projects I might just make - not just a coffee table book.
