Turn sea glass into stunning jewellery with expert tutorials and detailed silverwork guidance for makers of all levels.
This book is the ultimate guide to creating jewellery using magical ocean-tumbled sea glass, whether you are a hobbyist looking to transform your own beach finds or a seasoned jeweller working with it for the first time.
Experienced jewellery designer-maker Kelly Twigg covers everything you need to know, from understanding what sea glass is, where it comes from and tips for looking after it, to preparing your finds for jewellery-making and selecting the best method to secure the glass.
A detailed guide introduces the essential tools you will need, with step-by-step instructions for a variety of versatile and adaptable jewellery-setting styles, from bezel and claw settings to hanging and pinch bails. Learn both cold-connection designs (such as drilling the glass and using pre-made findings) and traditional metalsmithing techniques using silverwork and torch soldering (such as granulation).
In addition to three tutorials there are ten individual projects to try that will show you how to create a wide range of beautiful finished pieces including rings, earrings, pendants and bracelets.
Whatever your current level of jewellery-making experience, this book will enable you to transform your best beachcombing finds into something unique.
