Culturejewelry.com presents the Chainmaille Jewelry Pattern e-book, fresh ideas to put culture into jewelry for a handmade fashionable new look. Westminster, CO (PRWEB) May 2, 2005 -- Culturejewelry.com presents an ancient notion – make fine jewelry yourself. Now craftspeople are not limited to the (one style fits all) jewelry found at the mall. This craft is low cost, and easy to make for the average craftsperson. Chainmaille jewelry is fashionable and durable. No sophisticated equipment is necessary. There is no soldering required due to its multiple interlocked jump ring construction. It is a portable craft that requires no bench setup. The Chainmaille jewelry Pattern e-Book describes exactly how to make this happen. Plans are provided for making the Chainmaille Jewelry Assembly Jig. This tool made with common materials costing no more than $5, simplifies the normally tedious manipulation of small jump rings. This tool introduces a breakthrough method to ensure chainmaille jewelry is a pleasure to make. It is certain that the craftsperson will not return to this particular craft without the control this tool allows. The only other tools needed are two pairs of pliers. Materials required to complete bracelet or necklace projects are sterling silver jump rings, and a clasp. The patterns are complex due to the interconnected “woven” nature of the jump rings. Therefore, the Chainmaille Jewelry Pattern e-Book is illustrated with 3D computer aided models, rendered in high-resolution images for clarity. The step-by-step instructions for each pattern presented leave no detail out. Making the jewelry in the Chainmaille Jewelry Pattern e-Book gives rise to creating new patterns and combinations of patterns. The modular nature of jump rings and how they can attach in various ways gives craftspeople many avenues for creativity. The intricate, lace-like nature of this particular jewelry is rewarding to make, wear, or give as a gift. Learning how to make this kind of jewelry would also be a benefit to craftspeople who sell at craft shows.

A free multimedia animation is also downloadable, which shows how the spiral pattern goes together. “Handmade jewelry is not new; fine handmade jewelry with a personal cultural flare is new”, said jewelry designer and author Matthew Woodbury. “This jewelry is like a favorite pair of jeans; sought after, comfortable, relied upon for complimenting one’s wardrobe, and durable through time and trend.” Matthew Woodbury of culturejewelry.com has been making and designing fine handmade crafts for 30 years.
