Tightening the Bezel: Switch to peyote stitch using 11/0 delicas, followed by 15/0 seed beads to tighten the bezel around the rivoli.
Adding Decoration: Incorporate O beads and 15/0 seed beads around the outer edge of the bezel for an ornamental look.
Creating the Bail: Use peyote stitch to create a loop at the top of the bezel for the pendant's bail.
Finishing Touches: Complete the piece by weaving in any loose threads and attaching the pendant to your choice of necklace.
