Have you ever been mysteriously drawn to a turquoise or amethyst bracelet, or chosen to wear the same amber necklace for weeks on end? Perhaps you intuitively recognized in those stones the power to heal an ailment or mood—a capacity that has been attributed to many gems for centuries. This approachable, illustrated guide outlines the beneficial properties ascribed to dozens of gems (for example, onyx is said to protect against negativity) and includes instructions for making more than 50 pieces of jewelry using healing stones. Stitch elegant branch earrings of coral and pearl (which reduces irritability), or an intricate citrine bracelet that will improve your disposition. Other projects include a rosary, prayer beads, and a beautiful “circle of life” brooch.

Try the simple acts of stringing beads on a wire, and bending wires into unusual shapes, and you’ll understand why this craft has become so popular. You can make fashion statements with jewelry or home décor features, using the simple diagrams, patterns, and full-color photos. Start with the Black Faceted Heart Drop Necklace & Earrings, Souvenir Coin Necklace, Grandmother’s Photos Necklace, Green Cat’s Eye Bracelet, Amethyst and Filigree Chocker and Earrings, or Beads and Clay Charms Headband. Then turn to some home accents: Beaded Place Setting Napkin Ring and Placemat, Wine Bottle Band & Glass Charms, Asian Wind Chime, Sushi Set Chopstick Rest and Trimmed Chopsticks, Hanging Vase with Beaded Trim, and Round Beaded Treasure Box. You’ll want to make all 40 projects!
