Mother-of-Pearl Jewellery by Sylvie Hooghe
In this beautiful book, mother-of-pearl, with its infinitely varied iridescent hues, are combined with coral and pearls, crystal and lead glass to produce stunning jewellery that is the very symbol of refinement and femininity.
This is a captivating book with many ideas for a range of ages from teens to more mature beadersLots of inspiration and many projects dealing not only with pearls, but buttons, felt, threads and wirework; funky to chic and many in between. Originally published in France, this may account for some strange and novel ideas and instructions. I don't recommend looking for bicone or facetted pearls, crimping nylon thread or even threading pearls on embroidery cotton, and I don't think this is a book for an inexperienced beader. That said, I did enjoy the book and thought it well worth the modest cost.-Carol Stevenson (Bead Society of Great Britain)
