Kathy Frey - Elegant Wire Jewelry: Contemporary Designs & Creative Techniques — 

This book has a lot of interesting techniques, I do refer to it often when making MY OWN jewelry. I found that more often then not, the projects look more like they belong on the models on the runway where the outfits are more for show than wear. All and all for the beginner looking to learn some different techniques I would recommend this. For the more experienced I would recommend looking elsewhere.
There are a set of "bracelets" that are made basically taking two different colored wires and just wrapping them up in a circle and using one of them to wrap it around it to hold it together. They actually remind me of when I buy small amounts (20 feet or so) from a small business, they send it to me looking just like those "bracelets".
