Book Overview

Woven Wire Jewelry offers a practical introduction to wire weaving for jewelry makers. Rather than relying on simple line drawings, the instructions use step-by-step photographs to show how each piece is assembled.

The nine projects begin with an elegantly simple woven bracelet and progress to a domed cuff bracelet with soldered bead ends, a free-form bracelet, a woven neckpiece, and a pendant with a woven frame. Three projects incorporate Precious Metal Clay for added texture and detail.

Published by Interweave, this guide also covers safety, tools, equipment, and fundamental wire weaving techniques. It is suitable for readers who already have basic knowledge of jewelry making, especially soldering.
