Anyone ever turned any jewellery. Bangles, bracelets, earings, broaches, etc. I'm looking for a book on the subject. Any suggestions or ideas welcome.

I make pendents. Just make a little knob, then stick a little screw in eye in the top.

Hello Dan,
there is quite a good book on this subject by Hilary Bowen: "Woodturning Jewellry" You might find there a lot of useful tips and tricks and recommendations as for materials, chucking methods and so on. But there is not so much difference in the turning methods for jewellry or for larger objects. The challenge for me is rather to find a pleasing design in such small objects and the combination of different materials. For me mother nature provides a lot of inspirations and I often use little stones or other materials which I found on a walk to combine them with wood. Take a look at these examples:
