Great Wire Jewelry: Projects & Techniques

Drawing inspiration from historical treasures, Irene F. Petersen shows how to braid, twist, and knit silver, copper, and brass wire and jump rings into bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. There's no expensive equipment to buy, no soldering, and the easy-to-follow diagrams will have even beginners turning out any of the 70 projects. Two of today's hottest trends-Viking knitting and chain mail-are covered in depth, as are techniques like the Queen's link, double spiral, the foxtail, Crown Sinnet braiding, and more.
