As a pearl-o-holic myself, I really liked this book.

You're sure to be inspired, though that may lead to yet more bead-buying.
South Jersey Bead Society

Beautiful photography, step-by-step instructions and interesting background . . . [this book] is fun to look at and get inspired by.

KLIATT - KLIATT Review
The editors of Beadwork Magazine provide directions for creating 20 stylish designs, which have been divided into three sections: classic, special occasion and fashion forward. Basic information is included about selecting and caring for pearls. Interesting information is also included about the history, science and culture of pearls. Quotes, anecdotes and a wide variety of illustrations further educate about the importance of pearls throughout the ages. Stunning full-color photos accompany each project, and each features extremely detailed instructions. Projects include Cuff Deluxe (burgundy seed pearls with other coin pearls), Pearl Fusion (a combination of peach pearls, turquoise nuggets and sterling silver), and Very Berry (tiny pink pearls stitched into dangling cluster earrings). Special sections include pearl basics, knotting techniques and findings, and a list of suppliers for pearls and other materials needed for these projects. Age Range: Ages 17 to adult.
