Is a necklace an accessory?:blush

It is in the UK, anyway I made this very cheaply and quickly but am really quite pleased with it, what do you think?
It takes some wire, a pack of assorted blue( or other) beads and a hook...I could NOT believe how quick and easy it was.
I was a virgin wire hooker but now I want to do some more!!!

Very cool! I love the color. I've yet to try crocheting with wire, I'm afraid of it looking 'sloppy' and there's not much going back with wire....

It's beautiful! I saw a lady making one last weekend and I know I can do this too! Just need to track down the supplies.

Your necklace is beautiful! I just started crocheting with wire, using cheapo wire and rock chip or glass beads, but I haven't made anything with so many beads. I will now though! :manyheart (PS I'm with you on the having-to-make-something-to-keep-your-sanity thing! :devil )

Wow! That is gorgeous! My very favorite color & shades, too! I've been wanting to try working with wire & beads & something like this would be perfect.

Did you work three seperate 'strands' & attach to the same finding? or is it all one long strand?

I"ve always wondered about this! I've got some wire. maybe 2 or 3 things of it. I bought for a valentines day wire / bead project. I've never really understood how to use the thin wire and beads. I've done tons and tons of beadwork, but only with various types of thread. So I just used thread, and never used the wire. Maybe this would be good. I don't know what guage it is though. i forgot.

I really like your necklace! Of course, that could be because you're using shades of my very favorite color - blue!! A great job though: pretty and practical!!!
