J. Crew Inspiration ($150) ----> DIY Creation ($6 in materials)
Don't be scared off by crochet, there are no hard maneuvers in this tutorial. The crescent is created with a series of repeated stitches.

Want a more dramatic / thicker necklace? Just increase the # of loops added.
Then I went a little crazy and made more colors. Next up, yellow :)
Jen had also asked if this could be made by hand. Technically, yes, but it looked horrendous when I tried. Kelly found this tutorial if you'd like to try it by hand.
Yay or nay on these colorful necklaces?
Does it lay glat or bunch up? It's so cute. Great tutorial

This necklace is not my taste and even judging by the photos, even I prefer your version to the J. Crew version. There is just no end to your creativity. I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
