    Quick Project Steps

    In this tutorial from PotomacBeads you will learn how to bezel a beautiful rivoli with gemstones to create these palatial Versailles Earrings. You'll feel fit for a ball when you wear these elegant earrings out.
    1. To start the earrings, pick up thirteen rondelles with an 11/0 in between each one. Go through the first few beads and pull into a loop. This begins the bezel for the rivoli.
    2. Watch the Versailles earrings tutorial with Anna and Jenni to see how to form the bezel to hold in the rivoli by using the seed beads to form rings around the gems.
    3. Put the bow on top by stringing five seed beads onto the outside of your bezel and then adding the bow above. Add a loop to the top with seed beads for the earwire, thread back through the bow and five more seed beads. Bring the thread back down and tie the ends together.
    Versailles Earrings make a beautiful and unique gift. You will love how versatile these earrings are - you can experiment with different colors to create different looks. For example, using festive colors could turn them into a holiday wreath. Or, you could use all black beads for a more sophisticated look. No matter how you wear them, these earrings are sure to make a statement.
