I received a copy of this book from the publisher a while back. I've been intending to try out some of the lovely projects myself before reviewing but simply haven't gotten to it. The projects are lovely, all jewelry made using crochet and sewing techniques (mostly crochet). This style of jewelry is in fashion these days and there couldn't be a better time to crochet a necklace or bracelet.

The book is Beautiful Hand-Stitched Jewelry: Crocheted, Embroidered, Beaded by Emi Iwakiri (on
Amazon). The author has a blog
here (in
English via Google Translate).
Below are a couple of my favorite projects. I'm sorry the pictures are so horrible. I couldn't get a proper scan.
Bridal Flowers Necklace (crochet)
Vibrant Beaded Collar (sewing and beading)
