It was an epic undertaking to put this book together due to the large number of designs. Making all the to-scale diagrams was very time consuming. The book has simple briolettes to suit earrings though to more complicated designs for pendants. I have also included a number of harder frosted patterns to challenge the experienced facetor. A large number of the designs also have multiple frosted pattern options.
And from Amazon:
