    Quick Project Steps

    Starting the Bezel: Begin with a squared bezel using two colors of 11/0 seed beads, creating groups of six beads to form four sides. Adding Pearls: Introduce pearls to the design, creating petals with seed beads and pearls, making the bezel rounded. Bezel Reinforcement: Reinforce the bezel, adding detail and security to the design. Final Touches: Add a decorative drop at the bottom and a wire guard at the top, giving the piece a professional finish. Finishing Off: Complete the design by tying off and trimming the thread, then add ear wires or convert to a pendant as desired.
