Challenges are one of the hottest crafting trends, so we put a who's who of modern jewelry artists to the test. Chosen for their different aesthetic visions, 30 designers received a box containing nine jewelry supplies with the request that they create a piece using only those items, plus one "wild card" material of their choice. These are their show stopping designs, complete with how-to steps for making them.

Participating designers include:
Todd Reed,Thomas Mann, Joanna Gollberg, Tim McCreight, and Boris Bally
