craftgrrl | A few FO's and opinions needed

Yo kids I need your taste here.

The background: I have my cousin's bridal shower in less than two weeks. She's a middle school teacher, likes jewelry and purple. I have NO money to buy her anything (I'm already losing an arm and a leg over the bridesmaid's dress). I'm primarily a knitter but I've already recently given her a knitted gift, and don't even really have time to think of another. So I jumped in and randomly made this necklace. I've never made a piece of jewelry before. The back part is a bit wonky so I need to figure out how to make the curve even. It looks like the wire is really long on my neck, but that's because I have a chicken neck. She is much larger than I am and needs a lot more room at the neck, and the memory wire should be able to be adjusted to fit.

So please, give me your brutally honest opinion: Is this nice enough to give as a bridal shower gift?

Sorry if the pictures are dark, I had to hurry up and put them on my webspace before work.

Oh yeah, and here are the two Branching Out scarves from Knitty I did on the plane to the West Coast. The one that looks black is actually a pretty green-aqua, both made with random stash yarn that I have no idea what they are, except they're a little fuzzy.

A better picture of the color:

This was my first lace knitting project,and I really liked it although there are a few mistakes. It definitely made my plane ride go faster! I think I may knit some as gifts sometime because they didn't take that long and I like the effect.
