It is a superbly illustrated and practical guide to creating your very own jewellery inspired by the wonders of the natural world. Discover how the wonders of nature can inspire jewellery design. Presented as a combination of 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 finished designs. Materials and techniques used reflect the themes of the four elements - 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 advaned 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.

Creating Elemental Jewelry explores how the wonders of nature can inspire jewelry-making. The elements that inspire the designs are also reflected in materials sourced from the heart of our world (precious stones and metals mined from the earth's core, seaglass collected from the shore), and methods that employ elements such as fire (soldering) or water (working with molten wax in water). Projects range in difficulty, and include plenty of intermediate and advanced techniques to appeal to more experienced jewelry makers.
