Used 6.0 mm/ J hook for the band. Directions were a bit confusing but the pictures helped some. I didn’t chain 3 for the second/ consequent row(s) but chained 2 instead. I liked the look of that better and think it resembles a double crochet more…

The project can be done in an hour or so, but I stopped and picked up after watching a movie and reading :P

I also omitted the leaf (too lazy to grab green yarn) but I think the gold and grey work really well together. I like it!
