Quick Project Steps

Preparing the Bezel: Begin by threading a needle with wildfire thread and string 16 11/0 seed beads, forming a circle to create the base for the rivoli bezel.
Securing the Rivoli: Add layers of 15/0 seed beads around the bezel, alternating colors for visual interest, ensuring the rivoli is tightly encased.
Constructing the Band: Transition to the band by using herringbone stitch with 11/0 seed beads, extending from one side of the bezel.
Completing the Band: Continue the herringbone stitch to the desired length before connecting the ends to form the ring band.
Finishing Touches: Secure the thread with a few knots, apply a dab of glue for extra security, and trim any excess thread.

I absolutely love shopping with Potomac Beads for jewelry making supplies and tutorials and kits, etc. It's the first place I go when I'm looking for a specific tool or bead or whatever. I love the jewelry kits, too! My family was so impressed with my first effort that I am encouraged to try different methods now, confident that you will have all the supplies and support I need. Thank you for a superior shopping experience.
