    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare your materials and thread the needle with approximately 5 feet of beading thread.
    Begin with the 8/0 Demi Rounds to create the initial bezel loop, ensuring the correct count for the Rivoli size.
    Transition to 11/0 Demi Rounds for tighter bezeling, pulling the beads closer as you progress through the rows.
    After completing the front bezel, pass the thread to the back and repeat the bezeling process to secure the Rivoli.
    Adjust and center the Rivoli within the bezel, tightening the beads to ensure a snug fit.
    For a necklace, create a simple chain with the Demi Rounds, attaching the bezel pendant through one of the edge beads.
    Finalize the project by tying off and trimming the thread ends, then add clasps or hooks as desired.
