• Prepare the Bezel Base: Start with a loop of 12 primary color 8/0 seed beads, adding one secondary color bead for learning purposes.
• First Hubble Stitch Round: Using 8/0 seed beads, create Hubble stitch units around the loop, adding an 11/0 seed bead between each unit.
• Second Hubble Stitch Round: Transition to 11/0 seed beads for a tighter round, pulling the bezel inwards, and use 15/0 seed beads between units to secure the rivoli crystal.
• Tightening the Bezel: Add two 15/0 seed beads between the top 11/0 beads of the second Hubble stitch round to tighten the bezel around the crystal.
• Decorating the Outer Edge: Embellish the outer edge with 2 or 3mm crystals, using 15/0 seed beads to attach each crystal.
• Attaching the Loop Bail: Secure the loop bail to the back of the pendant for a polished finish.

Is there a video that explains the different sizes of dragon thread?

[@Potomacbeadco]

Hello! Yes, we do: www.potomacbeads.com/how-to/projects-tutorials/PBBE171

[@DanyyCalifornia]

Hello! Is there a structural difference for using hubble stitch instead of RAW when youre doing the back of the bezel?
Thanks!

[@Potomacbeadco]

RAW is also a great stitch that is used in many bezels and holds up well! Here is a great RAW bezel video you may enjoy! www.potomacbeads.com/how-to/projects-tutorials/pendants-rings-components-beaded-beads/PPBW1907.html

[@barry9279]

Would it be possible to adapt it for a 16mm rivoli?

[@Potomacbeadco]

Yes, it would! You will need to modify the pattern to accommodate a smaller rivoli but can definitely be done!
