I made this for my Twin as its our Birthday comming up soon...I used 28 gauge wire and real gem chips which I got from ebay...its only the second time Ive ever tried to crochet with wire.......I quite like it, maybe I will have time to make some earrings to go with it....:cheer

You could sell that on etsy if you wanted; I'd be interested! Your sister will love it!

Where did you learn to crochet with wire? So neat! :clap

Very nice! Your twin will love it! What a treasure. I started working with wire about a month ago. You really can create some unique pieces. I picked up a book and a magazine for inspiration.

Very pretty! Isn't it fun? I've made several pieces myself, and alternate my wire crochet projects with my yarn ones now!
