 Amazing Book May 25, 2008
It's an incredible book. I think it's a source of inspiration for beginners and advanced jewelers.
Love this series! March 5, 2008
I love this series from Lark! It provides me with lots of inspiration and it is a wonderful tool to learn new artists and their work. I have almost the whole series!
 Inspirational... March 4, 2008
The images in '500 BRACELETS' are nothing short of inspirational.
I like the format that Lark Books has chosen for this book and their other '500 Series' books. The Book contains full page pics of the most contemporary, cutting edge jewelry one can find. Very few words are used, and the viewer is left to enjoy the images and let the art speak for its self.
If you are a student of art or a working artist this and other books in the '500 series' are a must for ideas, inspiration, and just plain enjoyment.Those with just a casual interest in different medias and crafts will also enjoy this book.

Many of the bracelets are purely conceptual and many look like they would be uncomfortable to wear, not to mention, too delicate to stand up to wear, however, I agree with Margarita about the book being a "spark for creativity" ... if you are an artistic type and not someone who is looking for something to copy. I found myself challenged, when I found a design I liked, to translate the idea into my chosen medium.
As for the criticism about including several nearly identical entries from the same artists, for the most part, I don't agree. However it did seem like "cheating" on the part of the editors to scatter these multiple entries throughout the book rather than place them together. I like to see multiple interpretations of a theme, and don't necessarily think these multiple entries should have been eliminated but think they should have been grouped together for easier comparison. I also would have liked the book organized either alphabetically or by author. Still, even with these criticisms, I probably will buy this book.
