A wonderful book,
This review is from: Beads (Hardcover)
This is an outstanding book on many different types of beads from around the world. I only wish that there could have been a bit more focus on the various beads from Tibet.

This book is definately focused on beads and NOT so much on projects. Full of beautiful pictures and brilliantly done. A wonderful coffee table book!

Jewelry world tour,
By Christine Saalbach (San Antonio TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beads (Hardcover)
If you love ethnic jewelry and want to recreate its look, this is the book for you. The breathtaking photos by Jonathan Lovekin place this in the coffee table book category. Coles and Budwig take you on a trip around the world, stopping in Europe and the Middle East, Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas. They scoop up jewelry examples, show the technique, and give you a project to mimic the jewelry using materials that are not too difficult to obtain.
