Identify the sections or categories that will comprise the book. Create sections for necklaces, bracelets and earrings, for example.
Take pictures of the jewelry that will be in the book. If it is a collection of other designers' work, make sure to check the copyright for each image before using.
Write a small piece of text underneath each picture. If the book is a "how-to" book, include instructions and materials needed. If the book is merely a commercial tool to promote the jewelry, focus the text on the jewelry itself. For example, create a paragraph focusing on why this particular piece of jewelry is unique and exquisite based on the materials or value. Lastly, if the book is a collection of other designers' jewelry, make sure to recognize their work by naming them in the text.
Upload the pictures of the jewelry with the text onto the computer. Experiment with backgrounds on the computer. Choose background colors that work with the colors of the jewelry.
Print each page. Place the printed pieces of paper in plastic protectors and secure them in a three-ring binder.

Just like with a personal-use book, write a small piece of text underneath each picture. If the book is a "how-to," include instructions and materials needed.

Upload the pictures with the accompanying text onto the computer. Copy each of the pictures with text into one file and save it. Experiment with backgrounds on the computer. Choose background colors that work with the colors of the jewelry.
Examine publishing possibilities. While some writers contact publishers that handle craft books and cookbooks, others decide to self-publish, either in print or as an e-book. Although the latter is more expensive, it gives the author more control over the publishing process. If one wants to publish an e-book, save the file as a PDF file, so readers cannot alter the text once their copy of the book is downloaded.
