Quick Project Steps

Start by threading a size 12 needle with .006 thread.
For the 8mm Rivoli, string 22 15/0 Delica beads; for the 12mm Rivoli, use 34 beads.
Form a loop by sewing back through the first few beads, creating the foundation for the peyote stitch.
Add beads in a peyote stitch pattern, increasing the rows and tightening the beads around the Rivoli.
Switch to 15/0 seed beads for additional rows, ensuring a snug fit around the Rivoli.
Attach wire guards at the top of the bezel for hanging.
Create a chain using a square stitch and attach it to the bezel.
Finish by attaching the earwire to the wire guard.
