The Baroque Night Pendant tutorial teaches how to create an elegant Rivoli pendant using a simple yet highly decorative seed bead bezel technique. The project begins by building a circular base around the Rivoli crystal with 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads, gradually tightening the structure to securely hold the crystal in place. Once the Rivoli is inserted, the bezel is reinforced from the back to stabilize the setting before decorative outer embellishments are added using 11/0 seed beads and crystal rounds. The tutorial also demonstrates how to form decorative corner details, reinforce each embellishment pass, and create a simple right-angle-weave-style bail using alternating 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads with crystal accents. Finally, the thread is woven back through the design for strength and clean finishing, resulting in a lightweight, elegant pendant that can be worn on leather cord or adapted into necklaces and earrings with endless color variations.
Start the Bezel Base
Add a stop bead and string alternating 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads into a circle.
Reinforce the Circle
Sew back through all the beads and pull tight to create the bezel foundation.
Build the Prongs
Add groups of 11/0 seed beads around the circle to create raised sections that will hold the Rivoli.
Insert the Rivoli
Place the Rivoli crystal into the center and tighten the beadwork around it.
Reinforce the Back
Sew around the back of the bezel several times to secure the crystal firmly.
Add the First Crystal Edge
Add 11/0 seed beads and crystal rounds around the outer edge between the corner sections.
Create the Decorative Corners
Add single 11/0 seed beads at the corners while stitching up and down around the edge.
Add the Second Crystal Row
Stitch groups of 11/0 → 3 crystal rounds → 11/0 between the corners to create layered sparkle.
Form the Diamond Points
Add 11/0 → 8/0 → 11/0 groups at each corner to create pointed diamond accents.
Create and Reinforce the Bail
Use a simple right angle weave pattern with 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads to form the bail, reinforce it by zigzagging through the beads, then weave in and trim the thread ends.
