• Step 1

  Fold wire in half to create one 1-yd length of wire that is
  double-thick.

• Step 2

  Thread beads onto the double-thick wire in the following
  pattern: 1 gemstone, *1 pearl, 1 gemstone, 2 pearls, 1 gemstone;
  repeat from *.

• Step 3

  Carefully make a slipknot with the wire, leaving a 3-inch
  tail. Tighten the slipknot onto your crochet hook.

• Step 4

  Ch 3.

• Step 5

  Slide 1 bead up to the crochet hook and ch over it. The pearl should now be “caught” in the ch stitch. This is called a beaded ch stitch.

• Step 6

  Work 3 non-beaded ch stitches.

• Step 7

  Repeat Steps 6 & 7 until all beads are incorporated. Finish
  off, leaving a 3-inch tail.

• Step 8

  Grasp the bracelet at either end and pull firmly in opposite
  directions to flatten the wire stitches. This will give the
  bracelet a neater appearance.

• Step 9

  Using the needle nose pliers, thread the beg 3-inch tail
  through the T-piece of the toggle clasp, sliding the T-piece up to the first chain stitch. Wrap the tail around the base of the T-piece at least 3 times to secure it into place. Trim the
  excess with wire cutters. Repeat for ending 3-inch tail and O-piece.

I never thought about crocheting with wire. It's a good thing for me it's only using a chain stitch, because I am a terrible crocheter.
