    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare your materials and thread your needle with about 5 feet of thread, adding a stop bead. Begin with the Hubble stitch to form the base of your bezel, aiming for 13 units to encircle the rivoli. Join the Hubble stitch units into a circle, adding additional seed beads to tighten the structure. Start expanding the bezel by adding layers and utilizing different colors of seed beads for decorative effects. Insert the crystal into the bezel, securing it by tightening the surrounding beads. Embellish the outer edge of the bezel with picot trim and prepare the top loop for attaching the ear wire. Add decorative fringe and final touches to enhance the earring's appearance. Secure and finish your thread, ensuring the crystal is snugly bezelled. Attach the ear wire to complete the earring. Repeat the process for the second earring to make a pair.
