Using birthstones in jewelry is an easy but meaningful way to personalize beaded pieces. This collection of 38 projects is divided into twelve sections (one for each month), each featuring a description of the traditional and alternate birthstones for that month and three projects using those stones. A short end section features mothers’ sets and other jewelry that combines birthstone varieties. The book includes necklaces, bracelets, earrings from the pages of BeadStyle, plus 13 brand-new projects, all of which can be made with a few basic techniques.
BeadStyle magazine, packed with stylish projects and easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions and photos, debuted in the summer of 2003. The combination of fashionable accessories and do-it-yourself attitude has made BeadStyle the most popular beading magazine in the world.
