    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: 10 RounDuo beads. 8/0 and 11/0 seed beads. 14mm Rivoli centerpiece. Dragon Thread (size 6) with a size 11 needle. Necklace chain and clasp. Create the Base Bezel: String 10 RounDuo beads, alternating with three 11/0 seed beads. Tie into a circle to form the bezel foundation. Form the Bezel with RAW: Use the right-angle weave (RAW) technique, threading through the RounDuo and seed beads to build a structured bezel. Bend the bezel inward slightly to create a cup shape. Secure the Rivoli: Insert the 14mm Rivoli into the bezel center. Add 15/0 seed beads around the Rivoli edges to secure it firmly. Add Decorative Details: Embellish the bezel by threading decorative seed beads between the RounDuo units for a polished look. Reinforce the Bezel: Thread through all beads multiple times to strengthen the structure and ensure durability. Attach the Necklace Chain: Add matching beads to the chain ends and secure with a wire guard and clasp. Loop through the beads and wire guard to attach the pendant to the chain. Finish and Customize: Tie off all threads securely, trim the excess, and reinforce weak points. Customize with different bead colors or sizes to create unique variations.
