Sharing her experience of more than twenty-five years, Nancy Alden has produced a series of beautifully illustrated jewelry design books, published by Random House.

Each book has more than forty attractive necklace and earring designs, with easy-to-follow instructions.
Although most are relatively simple to make, these are designs for real jewelry and display the elegance and professional detail women expect in the jewelry they wear.

Chapters on the materials, techniques and the concept of design make these books a wonderful introduction to the art of making jewelry, while the sophisticated designs provide inspiration and guidance for those who are already experienced in working with beads and other jewelry components.

Nancy’s first two books, Simply Pearls and Simply Silver. Simply Gold were published in 2006 and 2007.
The third in the series, A Touch of Glass, will be available in the summer of 2008
