How to bezel Navette crystal with a CRAW stitch Tutorial
Tereza from PotomacBeads shows how to bezel a 13x27mm navette crystal with Cubic Right Angle Weave (CRAW) and Peyote stitches. She uses only Miyuki Seed Beads in 11/0 and 15/0 sizes, plus the crystal in this beginning beader tutorial. This can be used as a component to make earrings, necklaces or bracelets. The possibilities are endless!
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.

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.
