Neben Farbe, Oberflächenstruktur und Brillanz ist es vor allem die Form, die ein Schmuckstück ausmacht. In „Perlenschmuck in geometrischen Formen" zeigt Diane Fitzgerald, Expertin in Sachen Perlenschmuck, wie wunderschöne zwei- und dreidimensionale Schmuckstücke gefädelt werden können. Eindrucksvoll und gut nachvollziehbar demonstriert die Autorin, wie einfache Grundformen - Quadrat, Dreieck, Raute etc. - zu komplexeren Formen kombiniert werden können, aus denen wiederum raffinierte Schmuckstücke wie Ketten, Armbänder und Ohrringe entstehen. 120 Seiten, 24,7 x 22,7 cm, Hardcover
