If you're interested in making jewelry, Youtube & social media make it easy these days, but if you prefer a good ol' fashioned book, here are 3 that helped me start my own jewelry making journey.
If you like to learn in person & happen to be in Puerto Rico, I offer a beach gem jewelry class at the Rincón shop. In the class, you will learn how to properly drill holes in shells and sea glass & make jewelry using wire and chain. We talk about my favorite tools & techniques, and you can ask all the questions you want about making jewelry.

Someone recommended this book to me. I love this book because it shows, step by step, how Native American metalsmiths created beautiful pieces. It helps you understand how to craft pieces together & inspires you to get creative.
