Some years ago I was at a high end craft show and saw a wonderful sterling silver wire crochet collar necklace. I can crochet but I am not that great at it. So I was delighted when I came across this yarn crochet collar necklace tutorial. It is by Emma Escott over on Lululoves. The design is a little like the wire crochet collar I saw.
It is a great tutorial to learn how to crochet the scallops. Using wire instead of yarn will not look the same but I reckon with the right hook size and maybe some adaptation of the pattern, it will look good. Having said that, a yarn (pick something that is soft and won't be itchy) - some of the metallic styles perhaps - can look really trendy with the right outfit.
She made a button loop closure but metal ones can be used too.
Note that despite the pictures of a small child modelling this necklace in the blog post, the pattern is for an adult.

That looks great! I'm into crochet lately and love to see modern takes on it. This would look great in color, too.
