The Lunaria Pendant tutorial is an elegant, versatile beading project that guides viewers through constructing a dimensional bezel around a 14mm rivoli crystal using SuperDuo beads, Delicas, seed beads, and 3mm bicones. The design creates a flower-like layered pendant with a secure crystal setting and a decorative crystal bail. Perfect for pendant necklaces or statement earrings, this beginner-to-intermediate project emphasizes symmetry, thread control, and creative finishing.
Create the Bezel Base:
Pick up: 1 × SuperDuo → 1 × Delica → 1 × SuperDuo → 1 × Delica. Repeat until you have 6 SuperDuos and 6 Delicas, alternating. Form into a circle and reinforce the thread path.
Add the Outer Layer:
Step up into the second hole of each SuperDuo. Between each, add: 1 × 15/0 → 1 × Delica → 1 × 15/0. Continue around to complete the outer embellishment ring.
Add the Second SuperDuo Layer:
Between each outer group, add another SuperDuo, forming the second layer. Pass through the new SuperDuos’ top holes to continue building upward.
Add Pico Trim on Delicas:
At the center Delica of each trio: Add: 1 × 15/0 → 1 × Delica → 1 × 15/0. Stitch into the next center Delica to form pico trim points around the bezel.
Insert Rivoli:
Place the 14mm rivoli face-up in the center. Pull thread tight to form a snug bezel around the crystal.
Reinforce:
Stitch around the bezel again, going through 15/0s and Delicas to lock the rivoli in place. Flip and reinforce the backside of the bezel if needed.
Add Crystals Between SuperDuos:
Between each SuperDuo on the outer ring: Add: 1 × 15/0 → 1 × 3mm bicone → 1 × 15/0. Stitch into the next SuperDuo to continue embellishing.
Build the Bail:
Exit from a top SuperDuo. Add: 1 × 15/0 → 1 × 11/0 → 1 × 3mm bicone → 1 × 11/0 → 1 × 15/0. Loop back into the same SuperDuo and reinforce the loop 2–3 times.
Reinforce and Tie Off:
Stitch through multiple beads in the bezel and trim thread. Use half-hitch knots or bridge knots to secure. Burn or cut excess thread cleanly.
