This beautifully illustrated guide for making jewelry is based on pieces dating from c.700 B.C.E. to 1960 C.E. as found in museums throughout the world. The step-by-step projects generally use polymer clay and glass or semiprecious stones. Of course, nobody will mistake gold-painted clay for real gold, but the finished pieces retain the rather chunky, mystical appeal of ancient jewelry. Charlemagne's talisman and Lucrezia Borgia's pendant are unlike anything made today. Each project offers a color photograph of the original as well as the finished copy. Medieval reenactors and fantasy enthusiasts will love this book. Recommended for public libraries.

Book Description
Create a stunning brooch inspired by the one in Rubens's famous portrait of Isabella Brandt, or duplicate Madame Moitessier's bracelet in the painting by Ingres. Part how-to crafts book and part museum tour, this gorgeous and practical volume is a book like no other-the only one that shows readers how to create their own versions of the exquisite jewelry seen in some of history's great paintings.
