Vintage impressions jewelry - Terry Ricioli

If you haven't inherited the family jewels, you can still look like you did with vintage jewelry designs that are simple to re-create! Our easy-to-follow instructions and color photographs will guide you in using today's vintage-style components to make pieces that look like you borrowed them from your Grandmother. The in-depth technique guide with step-by-step photos will help beginners learn the basics such as forming wrapped loops, crimping beads and creating head pins from wires. More advanced jewelry makers will enjoy learning how to shape metal filigree around beads, use alcohol ink to color metal and apply resin over a photo set inside a bezel turning their designs into one-of-a-kind pieces.
