    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare the Base: Start with a circle of four 11/0 seed beads using the CRAW stitch.
    Build the Bezel: Continue adding cubes of beads around the circle, alternating colors for clarity, until you have a strip long enough to wrap around the navette.
    Insert the Navette: Carefully place the navette within the bezel base and adjust the beadwork to secure it.
    Transition to Peyote: Switch to Peyote stitch, adding 11/0 seed beads between the existing beads to tighten the bezel around the navette.
    Add Embellishments: Use 15/0 seed beads for additional rows to secure the navette further and add aesthetic detail.
    Final Adjustments: Make any necessary adjustments to bead tension and add any final embellishments to complete the bezel.
