Create stunning Bugle Bezel Crystal Earrings with this detailed DIY jewelry-making tutorial by PotomacBeads. Learn how to use 12mm rivolis, 3mm bugles, and various seed bead sizes (11/0, 15/0) to form a beautiful bezel structure. Follow step-by-step instructions to secure the rivoli, embellish with 2mm pearls, and complete your custom earrings. Ideal for DIY enthusiasts and beginners looking to expand their beadwork techniques.
Prepare the Beads: Gather seed beads (11/0 and 15/0), 3mm bugles, and 12mm rivoli. Thread your size 6 Dragon Thread onto a size 12 beading needle.
Create the Bezel Base: Use a combination of 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads to form the initial loop. Work in a right-angle weave pattern to create the four corner structure.
Secure the Rivoli: Insert the 12mm rivoli into the bezel and continue with the right-angle weave, adding seed beads to tighten the structure and secure the crystal in place.
Build the Outer Frame: Add rows of 3mm bugles and 15/0 seed beads around the bezel to create a decorative outer frame.
Add Embellishments: Optionally, incorporate 2mm pearls into the design for extra flair.
Final Adjustments: Complete the outer row of beads and make any necessary tension adjustments. Finish off by weaving in the thread ends securely.
