Readers of "Modern Expressions" will find chic necklace, earring and bracelet designs that turn heads with their fashion-forward sensibility. Furthermore, this book goes beyond instruction for creating striking pieces and helps the reader see clothing options to pair with the jewellery to show them off at their finest with a how-to-wear sidebar accompanying at least half of the projects. All of the projects feature modern components provided by major manufacturers (such as Beadalon), so locating supplies is easy and painless. The author spotlights his preferred basic jewellery techniques, providing the reader with a strong foundation to create their own one-of-a kind pieces.
