    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Materials: Gather your SuperDuo beads, 15/0 Miyuki seed beads, Rivoli crystal, beading thread, and needle.
    Begin the Bezel: Start by threading the needle and attaching a stop bead. String 13 SuperDuo beads and form them into a circle to create the base for the bezel.
    Add Rows: Continue by adding additional rows of SuperDuo beads, increasing each row to accommodate the Rivoli's size, creating a cup shape.
    Secure the Rivoli: Once the cup is formed, start adding 15/0 seed beads between the top holes of the SuperDuos to tighten around the Rivoli and secure it in place.
    Embellish: For added decoration, you can embellish the edges by weaving through the beads and adding extra seed beads for a finished look.
    Finish: Tie off the thread securely, and add any findings (e.g., jump rings) as necessary to create pendants or earrings.
