    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare the Bezel Base: Start by attaching QuadBow and PieDuo beads in a circular formation using beading thread and needle.
    Add Seed Beads: Introduce Miyuki Seed Beads 15/0 and 11/0 around the QuadBow and PieDuo beads to form the initial layer of the bezel.
    Secure the Rivoli: Place the Potomac Crystal Rivoli in the center and secure it by tightening the seed bead netting around it.
    Embellish the Exterior: Decorate the outer edge of the bezel with additional seed beads and Potomac Crystal Rounds for added sparkle.
    Create the Bail: Construct a bail at the top of the pendant using a square stitch technique with seed beads for hanging.
    Final Adjustments: Ensure all beads are securely in place and the Rivoli is snug within the bezel. Finish off by weaving in and trimming the thread ends.
