A shining example that people will buy anything for any amount of money.I did like aspects of some of the jewelry but found most of them over designed and produced with cheap brass findings If you are going to the trouble to dig around in European warehouses to find antique buttons and beads you should be able to manage gold filled or vermeil chains and clasps The materials deserve it.

This is probably one of the most beautiful jewelry books that I ve read Really lovely design for the photos The author is all about vintage beads etc, which are well out of my price range but the colors are great Some designs are a little too fru fru, but some great ideas.

Did enjoy the pictures but it really didn t do much for me after that Lots of things made with buttons and I just didn t think I would actual wear or use most of the projects shown Great to check out of the library but not to have, at least for me.
