  • How to Bezel a Lemon Shaped Crystal - DIY Jewelry Making Tutorial by PotomacBeads
As you know, Potomac Crystals come in a variety of stunning shapes and sizes, such as the 19x12mm Lemon used here. Designer Allie uses Miyuki Delicas 11/0 and Miyuki Seed Beads 15/0 to bezel this beauty, using peyote and herringbone stitches, and finishes it off with a Draw Cable Chain to make a necklace. But you can make this your own, creating a pendant or earrings.

Quick Project Steps

Start with threading 32 Delica beads, creating a circle for the bezel's base.
Employ peyote stitch for the first few rows to establish the bezel's structure.
Introduce herringbone stitch to create corners and give shape to the bezel.
Incorporate Miyuki Seed Beads 15/0 for further detailing and to tighten the bezel around the crystal.
Secure the crystal within the bezel, making adjustments as necessary for a snug fit.
Finish the piece by adding a draw cable chain for a necklace or a wire guard and earwire for earrings.
