500 Earrings: New Directions in Contemporary Jewelry (500 Series)Lark

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2012

Verified Purchase

I believe the Lark 500 series is one of the most beautiful book series I have ever seen. The photos of the particular product, e.g., this book's Contemporary Earrings, are marvelous as is the artisan's creativity. The next book I purchased from AMAZON is contemporary necklaces, each and every one a jewel, pun intended. I highly recommend any one of the LARK BOOKS as I have purchased a number of them and every time I look through them I get new ideas and they are a total treat.

This book is inspiring, creative, fun and a must have for jewelry designers. It is packed with photos from a wide array of international jewelry designers. The designers use traditional materials as well as found objects in their work.

If you are having a creative block in designing jewelry, this book will open the floodgates and you will be carried away with new ideas.

This is one of my favorite Lark Jewelry books.

good!!

For those who loved 1000 rings you will also I think love this. Its beautiful and with a vast array of earring styles, from wearable to artistic to practically sculpture. It is an inspiring coffee table book of inspiration. I was dissapointed with 500 bracelets, I thought that it was nowhere near as good as this and 1000 rings and 500 necklaces. I've yet to check out 500 brooches. A lovely series that lark has done for inspiring jewellery makers with ideas.

A good chunky book, filled with excellent close up photos of earrings made by a huge selection of jewellers. Easy to see how many of them are constructed, so lots of ideas for jewellers to incorporate some of the techniques into their own work.
