It basically coils and holds it's shape, but can be flexible as well when placing on your wrist for bracelets.  I have made a necklace before from memory wire.  It was of course made into a larger coil to fit the neck.  It basically was a circle around the neck with a few beads and a decorative pendant in the middle.  In the back it simply criss crossed and didn't need a closure.  I did attach a small bead on each end of the wire so it wouldn't scratch the skin or clothing.
