Quick Project Steps
Start by attaching a stop bead to your thread, then sew through a chain ring hole, adding two Delica beads between each opening.
After completing the first round with Delica beads, add a third bead to each pair to create a fuller look around the ring.
Introduce 11/0 seed beads by sewing them in between the Delica bead pairs, securing the structure.
Begin the front bezel pattern by adding seven 15/0 seed beads in between select Delica beads, creating peaks around the ring.
Secure the 14mm Rivoli by creating a back bezel with 11/0 seed beads, ensuring the Rivoli is snugly enclosed.
For the chain, weave Delica and 11/0 seed beads through an 18-inch chain to match the pendant's aesthetic.
Finalize the pendant by attaching a jump ring for hanging.
