Creating Elemental Jewelry: 20 Projects Conjured from Fire, Water, Earth and Air

by Vicky Forrester

Overview

Creating Elemental Jewelry explores how the wonders of nature can inspire jewelry-making. The elements that inspire the designs are also reflected in materials sourced from the heart of our world (precious stones and metals mined from the earth's core, seaglass collected from the shore), and methods that employ elements such as fire (soldering) or water (working with molten wax in water). Projects range in difficulty, and include plenty of intermediate and advanced techniques to appeal to more experienced jewelry makers.

• Expert instruction: The author is a qualified instructor and runs workshops at her studio.
• Skill levels: Includes plenty of intermediate and advanced projects to appeal to experienced readers.
• Original jewelry: Step-by-step instruction for 14 beautiful designs and 6 inspiring experimental projects with multiple outcomes.
