    Quick Project Steps

    Add some flair to your day with these Bezeled Rivoli Earrings. In this video tutorial from PotomacBeads, Tereza shows you how to create these dazzling earrings using only seed beads and a basic Peyote stitch.
    1. Start with an arm-span length of thread with 36 delicas on it. Tie the beads into a circle, be careful not to make it super tight. Bring the size 10 needle through the next two beads next to the knot, pick up a delica, skip the first bead and go into the next one. Continue the peyote stitch around the circle by picking up one bead at a time, skipping a bead in the circle and bringing the needle down the next one. Complete four rows of peyote.
    2. Add in the Potomac crystal rivoli. Watch the Bezeled Rivoli tutorial to see how to secure it in place and add the design around the crystal.
    3. Knot off the thread and hide the tail. Add a jump ring and an earpost or add an earwire to create a hanging earring with some more movement.

    Reviews indicate supplies may not be complete. I was hoping to ship this to another address but didn’t see that option available. So I’ll need to pay two shipping fees.

    Found it extremely difficult to bring up “oval clasp”. Searched the whole site and would key in “oval clasp” and wouldn’t come up. Was ready to cancel order out of frustration.
