A Fabulous Font of Inspiration -
I love this book. I'm fairly new to jewelry making and metalsmithing, but almost every page has given me at least one idea for further exploration. While it's true that many of the pieces are so over the top as to be unwearable, they still inspire with their extreme creativity.

I'll cherish this book and it will have a space on my studio shelf for a long time to come.

, simply quality bar stools

Total disappointment,. -
Of the 500 pendants and Lockets pictured there were maybe one or two that had any jewelry quality in the design. The book was a real disappointment, I would not recommend it to anyone with interest in traditional jewelry.

500 Pendants and Lockets -
This book is consistant with Lark's other offerings, namely, a book of fairly well done photographs of some category of object. However, if you're unfamiliar with their work, be warned that about one third of the stuff shown falls into the category of experimental student projects and conceptual art. For example, a pendant made from an ice cube.. I have most of the series, and as a jeweler/designer, use them for reference and inspiration.

Inspirational -
I truly loved looking through this book. I was inspired to create many new designs after viewing and let my mind wander as I turned each page.
I would recommend this to all Jewelry Artists as a source of Inspiration.

Great selections of branded hammocks at


- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!

Beautiful, inspiring -
I bought this book for my grandmother, who is a jewelry-smith now that she is retired. I also do some metalsmithing, although nothing like her. We both loved this book! It was beautiful and interesting and had lots of neat and inspirational ideas. My grandmother in particular liked that all the materials were listed for every item. She did complain, however, that fewer pieces than expected were traditional metalwork. Personally I thought the use of so many new materials to be quite interesting. The biggest drawback I found was that all of the pieces were very modern or contemporary in style, which, given the title, is to be expected.

Overall, a great idea book, with beautiful pictures and useful descriptions.
