Delica Duet Pendant Tutorial

Begin by threading 24 8/0 Delica beads onto 5 feet of size 6 Dragonthread with a size 10/12 needle, tying them into a loop to form the outer bezel. Use peyote stitch to add three rows of 8/0 Delica beads to the loop, ensuring the bezel fits snugly around the Potomac crystal rivoli. Transition to 11/0 Delica beads, adding two rows to tighten the bezel around the rivoli, creating a cupping effect. Insert the rivoli into the bezel, securing it in place by tightening the beadwork. Embellish the outer edge of the bezel with 2mm bicone crystals, followed by a row of 15/0 seed beads to add depth and sparkle. Add Miyuki drop beads around the outer edge for a decorative finish. Create a loop at the top of the pendant using a ladder stitch with 8/0 beads and Miyuki drops for hanging. Secure and finish the thread by tying off and burning the edges down flush with the project.
