    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: Collect all required beads, thread, needle, and tools. Stringing the Base Loop: Pick up 7 Half Tila Beads, with an 11/0 seed bead in between each Tila. Create a loop and tie a knot to secure. Adding the Second Row: Step up from the interior to the exterior hole of each Half Tila. Add an 11/0 seed bead before and after each Half Tila bead. Securing the Chaton: Insert the Chaton into the bezel. Add three 15/0 seed beads between each Half Tila to tighten the bezel. Reinforce by adding 11/0 seed beads and sewing through the beads again. Adding Wire Guards and Earwires: Attach wire guards to the top of the beadwork. Secure earwires to the wire guards. Final Reinforcements: Go through all beads one more time to ensure tightness. Tie off and trim excess thread.

    I don't know why you have the drop-down boxes -- I can see them but can't get to them. I had to use search for everything. Why do you list things that are on sale if they are out of stock? Are they still going to be on sale when they are back in stock?
