About this title

Synopsis

With this comprehensive guide, jewelers can craft 30 stunning one-of-a-kind beads in shimmering silver, copper, and brass. An introduction provides metalwork basics, followed by design ideas and techniques. Transform commercial beads using simple stamping, chasing, and dimpling. Use cold connections to produce riveted and woven beads. Create variations in the form by using patterned, textured, or hammered sheet metal. Crafters will build a repertoire of skills, from surface embellishing to adding decorative elements. A gallery of handmade beads provides inspiration.
