Holly-Witt Allen gets to the point in this short jewelry making book from Leisure Arts. Large, full-color photos will have you eyeing which pieces you want for your personal collection. There are many bold elements at work here to help any stylish lady stand out.

There's plenty of metalwork, including chains, gears, and stamps. All of these jewelry trends are fun, durable, and will give you an urban look that will definitely turn heads. The materials lists are detailed, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow.

There's some steampunk inspiration at work, especially with one of our favorite patterns, the Gears Necklace. This necklace features brass and gold with metal stamp charms and a timepiece inspired charm, to give it an other-worldly dystopian look. This would be a great conversation piece for a night on the town.

There are more delicate and elegant pieces, like the Double Strand Necklace. This big beaded necklace would look wonderful worn with a dress suit. Slip it on and head to the office with your chin held high!

A favorite that combines the urban grit and classy charm of the previously mentioned pieces is the Chains and Pearls necklace. This one would be great for day-to-night wear.
