Joanna Goldberg. No soldering is required to make these necklaces, rings,
bracelets, and earrings; they're cold-connected, or crafted with such
easy-to-learn skills as piercing, sawing, riveting, and joining, making them
perfect for the beginning jeweler. The results look completely professional and
beautiful. Work with sterling silver, brass, copper, aluminum, and nickel in
sheets, wires, and tubes. Find out how to create your own chains, earwires,
clasps, and other findings from wire jump rings. Learn metal texturing and
finishing techniques such as chasing, etching, adding a patina, and fashioning
shiny and matte surfaces. Find out how to make a simple setting so you can include
pearls, beads, stones, and found objects. Then set your creativity free on
projects like Polka Dot Tube Earrings; a Sewn Pendant and Chain; a Circle
Brooch with Thorn Clasp; and a layered Cuff Bracelet. Bonus: an exquisite photographic gallery for additional inspiration.
