A bit of Glitter must be

After I had obtained the book "Creating Crystal Jewelry" from Laura McCabe, naturally I had to start beading. Speaking honestly, I noticed the original jewels overloaded. So I picked the Cream Pies and then combined them with crocheted ropes.

First I tried to make the Dahlia.

Next in row was the pendant from the "Interlocked Necklace":

Yes, and as the last object of desire so far a "Crown Jewel" had to be made.

To prevent, having to sew on the rope, I made it thinner for the passage through the jewel. That was not an easy crochet :-)
