Wire Style New Jewelry Designs Review

This pattern book was a disappointment. The designs were lackluster and didn't inspire my creativity. The only pro was that the book was nicely bound. However, the cons outweigh the one positive and I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for new jewelry designs.

Original review: The book is not bad, but the first one was much better for me. Still a worthwhile purchase. UPDATE: Accidentally bought the book again in 2016. She still gets 5 stars for the designs but only 2 stars for the instructions because none of the steps/methods have illustrations or photos, just text which is almost useless. for us visually oriented people.

I am a medium sized jewelry manufacturer. Although I have many books on wire jewelry, I still like to get more books just for inspiration and to discover new techniques. I saw good reviews so thought this would make a great addition to my collection. Unfortunately it isn't. I would describe some of the designs as unnecessary embellishments. Not necessarily terrible, but just not worth the time. I found a few items that I had never seen before, but I didn't always like the way they were…
