Elemental Jewellery
by
Vicky Forrester
Presented as a combination of a design notebook and resulting projects, themed images from nature and an insight into the designer's inspiration are followed by step-by-step projects that reveal how the inspiration was transformed into the final beautiful designs. Materials and techniques used reflect the themes - jewellery materials are sourced from the heart of our world (precious stones and metals mined from the earth's core, pearls and coral harvested from the deep by divers), while methods may employ elements such as fire (soldering) or water (working with molten wax in water). The projects range in difficulty, and include plenty of intermediate and advanced techniques to appeal to more experienced jewellery makers, explained in detail by an author who is a qualified instructor and runs workshops at her studio.
