A classic how-to jewelry book and a natural complement and follow-up to Mary Hettmansperger's bestselling Wrap, Stitch, Fold & Rivet. Internationally renowned author Hettmansperger demonstrates easy, effective ways to embellish common metal jewellery. She uses paints, pencils and dips to achieve dramatic colour; applies foils, resins, mica and other materials to alter the jewelry's surface and works with unusual techniques, like the ancient Korean art of Keum Boo, to create a gold-gilt effect. Rings, bracelets, necklaces and pins - virtually any piece can become individualised and breathtaking.
