Following on from the success of her previous book "Making Vintage Bags" (ISBN: 1 86108 411 0) Emma Brennan presents "Making Vintage Jewellery." The classic and timeless styles will have wide appeal and the vintage look is currently high on the fashion scale.

The book is divided into comprehensive sections, covering tools and basic techniques, with step-by-step photographs. The following five sections each focus on a decade from the 1910s through to the 1950s, and feature historical background to the designs, step-by-step diagrams and a list of materials, which are a mixture easy-to-find vintage and modern.
