Hello Beaders!
Welcome to a new beading tutorial.
I've always liked gemstones and I have always felt sad I cannot use them in my beaded projects, other than in the stretchy bracelets or on wire-based ones. And the main reason is: the gemstones are heavy, and that's why is difficult to use them with any thread when you simply thread them on.
But if the gemstone is encased in a bezel, you can use it as a pendant or create multiple points of connection with the other elements in the design, and create a strong, wearable item.
Today we work on making a bezel around a gemstone - black onyx - using a combination of techniques: we create the bezel belly band with right angle weave (RAW) then we create on top of this base some peyote rows. The result is a stone that you can much easily use in your beaded projects.
The chapters are as follows:
