  Step 1

  Experiment with placement of the appliques around your neck (or a friend's), and stitch the ends together to create a single piece. (If you're using crocheted trim, you won't need to do this.)

• 

  Step 2

  Add jumprings and the closure to the back of the necklace.

• 

  Step 3

  Count out how many beads you need, and thread a headpin into each of them.

• 

  Step 4

  Create a wire-wrapped loop for each bead using the following method:

• 

  Step 5

  a) Use the chain-nose pliers to bend the pin at an angle to the bead.

• 

  Step 6

  b) Grip near the bend with the roundnose pliers, and twist the wire around to make a loop.

• 

  Step 7

  c) Keeping the roundnose pliers in the loop, use the chain-nose pliers to twist the end of the wire once around itself, just below the loop you made.

• 

  Step 8

  d) Trim off the end of the wire with your wire-cutters, leaving about 3/16" to spare.

• 

  Step 9

  e) Twist the remaining end of the wire below the first twist, so it is not protruding.

• 

  Step 10

  Attach each bead to the crocheted neckpiece with the jumprings so the beads dangle and catch the light as you move.

• 

  Step 11

  Wear with a low-cut dress or top to show off all of that dark sparkle at your neck.

Man, I was hoping for a tutorial on how to crochet the lace... but it's an applique ):

Actually it is called 'tatting' but you use crochet stitches. It is very tricky to do but you can find many sites and pages for help on how to do it and can get supplies off of Amazon.

That isn't crochet, it's lace. By the looks of it so is the original. I think your version is prettier though =)
