A beautifully illustrated step-by-step guide to twisting, weaving and wrapping wire jewellery.

In Twisted, wire artist Nadja Shields encourages you to twist, wrap and weave your way to a treasure trove of stunning jewellery. Featuring 15 step-by-step projects, you can use copper, steel, silver or even gold wire and embellish your pieces with sparkling gems or beads.

Before embarking on your first project, discover the techniques used for various weaves, information on tools and materials, details on creating and assembling components, and options for setting gems and beads. After gaining a grasp of the basics, delve into projects ranging from beginner through to advanced, such as simple butterfly earrings, a beaded cuff bracelet and a complex bejewelled pendant.

By the time you have completed the last project, you will have all the skills and techniques you need to become a confident and skilled wire artist, from the first twist to the final polish.
