What looks like a Half-Persian-3-in-1 or Half-Persian-4-in-1 chain (black and silver) with shiny black yarn or thread crocheted onto one edge. Cool.

Polymer clay and crochet; what a fascinating idea full of potential

A nifty idea of combining maille and crochet, by making a maille chain (it looks a bit like Trizantine) and then crocheting over the edges to add more decoration to the piece.

There are multiple things of interest in these earrings. The main body of the earrings is done with black yarn, then the beads on the edge are attached with thinner thread (not sewn, it's clear it's still crochet). Then, looking at the earrings sideways, one can see that the top part of the earring is done as a fan/half-circle, and the lower part is two turns of a spiral; this is interesting because it wouldn't have occurred to me to not make the entire thing a spiral, but the two parts of it make it much better looking.

Interesting idea: rather than do hyperbolic crochet around a tiny crochet circle, do it as a half-circle on a wooden ring. That way you get to see all the curves of it. (I would choose a different colour-scheme than this one, though)

Combination of chain and crochet; I love the sweeping crochet in green and brown.

Dramatic contrast between thick chunky yarn for the bulk of the top, with the neck and shoulder area done with fine yarn in a lacy stitch with big needles. Could do something similar with crochet, too.

Pretty crocheted earrings, with extra dangles.

Pretty crocheted earrings with beads - and what is more, a tutorial!

A fun idea, to make crocheted 'daisies' for making daisy chains

This uses a gemstone donut as a centrepiece and attaches a band of crochet to both sides.

Spiral earrings with beads half-circled by macrame. Could probably be done with crochet too. (original listing is gone)

The pattern is not in English, and it's an image, so Google Translate can't have a go. However, it is a lovely coat, and I want to bookmark it for inspiration.

Nice design idea: satiny yarn for the "flowers" and green eyelash yarn for the "greenery".

I don't know the technique (I don't think it's plain stringing) but I love the effect of the gradual colour change from black to silver by changing the numbers of beads of different colour. I don't think it would work so well if it wasn't multi-strand. I wonder if once could do this with a bead-crochet tube?

Pendant made by crocheting around a twisted metal ring. Cool idea!

Originally from Etsy shop Zetaemme but the item is no longer there. Similar items are there, along the theme of crocheting around a metal charm. I'm noting this one though because the crochet on it is a little more elaborate, with three colours rather than one or two.

I like this idea! Mixing crochet, chains, and semi-precious donut-beads. This shows earrings, but one could use this idea for a necklace too, and possibly use more complex maille weaves with this mix of rings.

The idea here is to use pieces of leather as part of a freeform-crochet design; punch holes in the leather and crochet around the edges, then join as another scrumble.\012\012(could not find original)
