Quick Project Steps

Preparation: Gather all materials. Cut approximately 5 feet of beading thread, threading your needle.
Bezeling Chatons: Start by making bezels for your chatons using four two-hole brick beads and 15/0 seed beads. Create a secure base, then add seed beads to form a bezel, securing the chaton.
Bezeling Rivolis: Similar to chatons, but adjust the count of two-hole brick beads to eight for each rivoli. Follow a similar process to create a bezel, securing each rivoli.
Assembly: Design the layout of your bezelled components. Use seed beads and Potomac Crystal Rondelles as spacers between each component.
Finishing Touches: Complete the necklace by adding a clasp using a Potomac Crystal Button. Ensure to reinforce the thread paths for durability.
Final Check: Ensure all knots are secure and trim any excess thread.
