Okay, this is definitely a winner--beautiful and easy to stitch. It's nice that it doesn't cover up the middle stone as much as some bezels do. Thank you so much, Leah, for sharing this gorgeous piece with us.

I've made this a few times. It works great---AND it's pretty quick for a 27mm rivoli bezel.

Great design! I love bezeling 27 mm rivolis, my favourite stones! For me personally a darker background would work better to see all the beads.

Does it matter which way you pick up the half tilas as one side is flatter than the other?

Anita Assad Thank you for asking this question, I wondered the same thing. Although they say it doesn't matter for this design, I think I will have mine facing all the same way. It seems to me that it would be more pleasing to the eye, or maybe I'm just too picky, lol.

I truly love this pendant and will definitely be making several for friends and family. If I could make a suggestion, I think we could all have seen your beads and what steps you were making if your bead mat was a darker color. Just a thought. Thank you.❤️🌹

I had so much fun making this pendant! You are right, it's very fast and goes together easily. Now I want to make earrings, but with a smaller stone, like 14 or 16 mm. Is there a formula if a smaller stone is used? Instead of 20 half tilas...use ?? Again, thanks for the beautiful design!! Dena

@EurekaCrystalBeads 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Dena! I'm sure it's doable - you'll have to play around with the numbers of beads to see what works. I'm not aware of any conversion formula but maybe Leah can chime in...

@leahwyckoff3402 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Dena, I haven’t done this exact bezel with a smaller stone but it’s likely possible. The best advice I can give it start with a smaller amount of Half Tilas and 11/0’s and, once tied in a circle, hold it over the top of your stone. You want to see it slightly smaller than the outer edge of the stone so it sits on the front but close to the edge. Let us know how it goes!

@msdee123ful 4 жыл бұрын

I need to know if I could make this with an 30mm crystal stone because I like 7 of them and didn't know what to do with them so if you could help me. I love the look of your pendant and my daughter birthday is coming up and I woud love to make it for her.

@EurekaCrystalBeads 4 жыл бұрын

Hi there, thanks for watching! There's no reason that it shouldn't work for a bigger or smaller stone, you will just have to tweak the number of beads but give it a try and report back! 💗 And happy birthday to your daughter! 🎂🎈💐
