Jewelry Design Challenge: 30-Minute Necklaces
Editor: Marthe Le Van
Entry Deadline: August 3, 2009

Are you a skilled and imaginative jewelry designer who is up for a challenge? Great! Your mission is to design a necklace or pendant that can be made…start to finish…in 30 minutes flat.

30-Minute Necklaces will showcase more than 50 incredibly stylish step-by-step projects that can be created without investing too much of a valuable commodity—time! The selected designs will be modern and sophisticated and encompass many different styles and techniques. The common denominator will be fast projects that look terrific!

PS: In 30-Minute Necklaces, we won’t be teaching fundamental jewelry making techniques. Designers can assume that their readers are already proficient (and quick!) at the basics.
