I'm reviewing this because if I'd seen what I'm about to write I would have been saved postage and dissapointment.
I loved 1000 rings. I also really like the two new additions, 500 earrings and 500 necklaces - I think they were beautiful and reviewed them. So when I ordered this I was expecting something similar to 1000 rings. I was dissapointed because although this book is the same style coffee table type gallery book the items picked to fill it did not really match the same standards as the others (I haven't seen 500 brooches, so omit this one). There are, of course, some good works in it and some are incredibly well designed and made - but as a book of inspiration it just didn't rise to the same standards. I returned it. This was the one I was really looking forward to perusing as bracelets are something that interest me most, but it did not contain enough for me to want to keep it. Some may like this but I did not. It wasn't as good as the others.
