Creative Beading

Where can I find patterns for crochet jewelry?

I heard recently about crochet jewelry done with wire and beads. I want to try it, but don’t want to invest a lot of money into buying a book on it before trying it in case I either don’t like it or am not good at it. I’ve tried googling for patterns, but most of what I find is using yarn. Does anyone have a good resource for patterns that would use wire and beads?

Ravelry.com

It’s a free website for crochet and knitting. They have jewelry patterns listed as well.
