Perfect Match by Sara Schwittek July 7, 2008
This book was exactly what I was looking for, it had beautiful designs, easy to understand instructions and quick and easy ways to make beautiful and unusual earrings...I own many jewelry and beading books, but this one is at the top of my list...Do yourself a favor and get yourself a copy of your own, it's well worth it!
I love this book! July 2, 2008

This book is so wonderful that I'm coming out of lurk mode to review it.
I came across Shy Siren during a quest for interesting items for a blog I write. After about two minutes I realized my mouth was still agape and I was on the verge of actually drooling. I knew I had found my jewelry design hero. Shortly afterwards, I received this book as a gift! Serendipity!!
This book starts out with a comprehensive (but not overwhelmingly scary!) list of items you will need to begin making the projects listed.
There is a technique section that is straightforward on what tools to use and when, and what technique is best for the look you want. I also love that the illustrations show a *real* hand using a *real* tool so you can copy the hand placement rather than having to guess at what the directions mean.
Once you gone through the basics (great review for seasoned crafters, or fabulous beginning for those just starting out) Sara delves into the projects themselves. Each project includes a list of techniques, tools, and materials as well as a time frame for completing the jewelry.
The designs are just lovely and use a range of materials that you can easily use as is, or change up to suit your needs.
How much better and easier does it get? Now, not only are they wonderful projects in and of themselves but I can easily see veteran crafters using these designs as inspiration.
To round out this book, Sara has added a list of resources, some of which I have heard of, some not.
This is a great book for everyone of every skill level and I know you'll be as pleased with this book as I am.
Thanks again to the wonderful gal who gave me this book as a gift! :D
Ok, whatcha waitin' for? Add it to your cart!
Sharing the love, Starr :D

I found this book to be very helpful and informative. The instructions were quite descriptive and I appreciated the detailed photographs. The earring designs were just beautiful! I am positive that those just starting out making earrings will love this book. Even those who have a lot of experience should be able to find some designs to make or at least they will give you the inspiration you need to make your own.
