This book celebrates something simple yet powerful in jewelry making—chain. Often overlooked as just a finishing element, chain has a long history as both structure and statement in adornment, dating back to ancient civilizations where metal links symbolized strength, connection, and continuity.
Chain Style invites you to see chain in a new way—not just as a connector, but as the foundation of your design. With 50 projects, this book explores how different chain styles, link sizes, and materials can completely transform the look and feel of a piece.
Inside, you’ll find a blend of wirework, stringing, and layering techniques. The designs feel approachable and flexible, making this a wonderful resource whether you are just starting or looking to expand your creative voice. It encourages you to mix textures, add focal beads, and let the chain guide the movement of your piece.
There is something deeply symbolic about working with chain—each link connecting to the next, building something stronger together. It mirrors the creative process itself, one step, one bead, one decision at a time.
