    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Materials: Gather 20 nib-bit beads, a 14mm rivoli crystal, and Miyuki 15/0 seed beads.
    Start Beading: String 10 nib-bit beads, adding a seed bead between each, on approximately 40 inches of beading thread.
    Create the Bezel: Secure the beads in a loop, ensuring the crystal can fit snugly inside. Add another loop of 10 nib-bit beads and connect both loops.
    Insert the Rivoli: Place the rivoli crystal in the center of the bezel and secure it by tightening the beads around it.
    Add the Bail: Using seed beads, create a loop on either side of a nib-bit bead to form the bail for hanging.
    Finish: Tie off and burn excess thread for a clean finish.
