Fashion Jewellery Design10 fashion jewellery techniques every maker should own
Ten techniques, one ladder — own these and you can build nearly anything.
Ten techniques cover nearly everything fashion jewellery is built from:
- Crimped stringing — the everyday necklace (the guide).
- Pearl knotting — the heirloom upgrade.
- Simple + wrapped loops — every connection that matters.
- Flat peyote — the weaving gateway.
- Right-angle weave — fast, flexible structure.
- Brick stitch — shaped motifs and earrings.
- Tassel binding and capping — the boho workhorse.
- Multi-strand finishing — cones and consistency.
- Wrapped bangles and cuffs — structure without solder.
- Professional finishing — the standard that lifts all nine.
Where the ladder covers them — FJ100 essentials takes 1-3;
intricate styles the weaves and multi-part work; master
techniques the finishing standard. One-day taste: the
workshop. Dates: the calendar.
