After having read the first issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry, I couldn't wait for the second issue. It does not disappoint. The 144 pages features no less than 38 unique and beautifully photographed jewelry projects. Techniques and materials used include textiles, glass slides, polymer clay, crochet, wood tiles, mica and PMC, just to mention a few!
The projects do require some familiarity with jewelry arts and not all of the projects have detailed instructions.
My favorite projects include:
- A complex bracelet by Pat Bolgar using polymer, PMC, and fringe that looks like brilliantly colored sea urchins clustered on twiggy beeded branches.
- A lavish free-form peyote stitch flower necklace by Myra Wood.
An artsy vine jewelry set (necklace, bracelet, brooch) by Lilla Le Vine using textile piece, gold ribbon, silkk covered cord, glass beads. - A flip-opennable storybook pendant by Louise Duhamel using PMC for the bookcovers and mica for the pages.
- Hip sixties-looking mosaic pendants by Sarah e. Smith using glass slides and solder
- Two projects by Deryn Mentock - a wire and mica necklace using collage, and colorful collage doll pins using found objects.

Jewelry Armoires, chests and jewelry boxes always have a very high degree of quality. To give one of these as a gift, as many men have, has had a powerful effect on the women they love! A very special, beautiful chest or armoire for cherished things give a message every single day that this woman is LOVED! I am speaking from experience here. If you are a man of few words, I can't think of a gift I've ever received that made such a difference every single day. If you need an OUTSTANDING gift for a daughter, one that won't fade compared to other gifts, you simply couldn't do better. Your granddaughters and great-granddaughters will still be using it and thanking you for it every day.
