A wonderful wire work jewelry book as it covers how filigree styles can be achieved without soldering and with just basic tools. The pictures though did not do the designs justice which is why it didn't get 5 stars! Full review with pictures is available here http://www.beadinggem.com/2011/01/book-review-lacy-wire-jewelry.html

The style of jewelry shown in the book is reminiscent of french beading which involves twisting wire pre-threaded with beads. The jewelry projects here show more wire. Designs are funky and delicate.
