Reviews"Jewelry design is an increasingly popular craft, and working with chain can be a fast and affordable process if you know the basics. Dickerson takes the time to discuss the wide variety of hammers, pliers, and other tools crafters need to be familiar with (along with which are absolutely necessary) as well as demonstrating the basic techniques involved in making and designing with chain--that is, how to make various connecting loops and rings. The projects included are stunning... The difficulty levels range from simple, easy-to-put-together designs that newcomers can feel comfortable getting their feet wet with, to more complex projects that experienced jewelry makers can tackle as stated or customize to their hearts' content." - Tina Coleman, Booklist
