I've read several of the author's other books and I've rated this one similarly. The projects are really basic and not everything is particularly well done. I spied a gold clasp on a silver necklace and thought, "Really?" Some pieces needed a further photo to explain how to put it together but for the majority of the projects there is only the finished piece shown. This would be good for true beginners but if you have jewelry experience you'll flip though this book quickly.

Worst money ever spent

There may be 120 designs here but there is not a single design worth the money spent or time wasted looking for some small crumb of interest. All this book consists of is the very basic creations. I was looking for something more challenging than I could get from my Kindle Unlimited plan and this book failed miserably

Interesting ideas and the projects seem doable.
