Crocheted Necklace and Bracelet

Marietjie's Order: Necklace and bracelet

A purple beaded crochet necklace and a green beaded crochet bracelet, both with toggle clasps.

The green beaded crochet bracelet.

I used for the center piece a lime green bead, lime green seed beads and clear seed beads. For the rest of the dangles i used metallic green seed beads, green faux pearls and clear seed beads.

For the necklace I used flat, clear purple beads, metallic purple seed beads and clear seed beads.

 

I've gotten into crocheting lately and I've often been wondering how cool it would be to crochet jewelry. I was scouring the internet one day and found a picture of a necklace like this on craftbits so I decided to try and duplicate it. I posted a picture on twitter and this client said she wanted one, AS WELL AS  a bracelet. I modified the pattern a bit and made the bracelet as well.

What is super cool about this pattern is that someone who is allergic to metal can wear it because if you don't add the toggle clasps like I did, you can add a button because the pattern makes provision for a button hole (you just then sew a button on the opposite end.)

Thanks @marieks12 for the support and giving me the opportunity to make such amazing pieces for you.
