Jewelry Books

Unexpected Findings Book

Unexpected Findings: 50+ Clever Jewelry Designs Using Everyday Components was my first jewelry making book. It gives step-by-step instructions on how to create jewelry using traditional jewelry findings in new and unusual ways. There's a wide variety of jewelry styles included with designs from me and 10 other jewelry designers. This printed version is out of print, but you can still buy a digital version from the publisher. (I still have a few print copies, so if you want to buy one, please get in touch!)
