Thank you and you are welcome :-)

+Teresa Fernbacher Your comment is ridiculous. Are you under the impression that people create these tutorials because they're altruistic? They do it to gain subscribers. The more subscribers they have, the more advertising dollars they attract, and the more recognition and revenue they receive (which leads to magazine spreads, book contracts, etc.). If one is going to set oneself up as an instructor on KZfaq, one should welcome constructive criticism. It comes with the territory. Sidonia's jewelry is beautiful. However, she mumbles through her instructions in a heavily accented voice. She should invest in a lapel microphone, ala Jill Wiseman, to amplify her voice. Her lighting is poor, and her camera focus is often blurry. I am an adjunct professor at a local college. My continued employment is predicated on student feedback. Wake up and smell the coffee. That is how the real world works.

Welcome! :-)

Thank you, you're too kind!

Thank you! :-)

You are very easy to follow. I changed it to my TV and I could see you in more detail. I really love your creations.

Thank you and you are welcome! I made some other tutorials using 8mm chatons, you can find them on my channel if you like. Thank you for the hint also! Sidonia :-)

Gracias! :-)

Hilda Lechner Thank you!

I can not agree more!...You are one of my favorite beader's, Sidonia!💗 I enjoy watching your creative beadwork talent...as you give me great inspiration! I'm now becoming an intermediate beader, and this tutorial is exactly what I need, as to learn a more simple way, of incasing my 8mm cabachon's!😀 Thank you so much for all you do, Sidonia! From-Ohio, USA💗

Me neither, Carol. :-) I just experiment and try ideas that I have. I will bezel some other sizes and then make a chart. :-)

Love your beading style and video thank u carol

Carol Webb Thank you, Carol! :-)

Hi Aurora, the crystals are all Burgundy and the seed beads are Miyuki's Matte Metallic Dark Bronze, color code 2006. You can also find them below the video. :)

Thank you, Melody! No, I don't live in New York, I live in Gallipoli, Italy. :D The church is very near my home.

Sidonia's handmade jewelry

+Karen Purvis It would have to be adjusted, on the back; it shouldn't be difficult.

+Sidonia's handmade jewelry Thanks for getting back so soon . I think I'll try it with a rivoli. If it works out the way I'm hoping, I'll post a picture on facebook. I really love all your tutorials. I've made several of your projects for myself and they turned out quite beautifully. I get lots of compliments every time I wear them.

+Teresa Fernbacher Hi Teresa, thank you for defending my teaching! :-) I was actually thinking about making a necklace with this pattern, but I was actually thinking of using it like rope, by its self or with a big bezelled stone hanging from it. Is this a good enough tip? :-)

Sidonia's beading and jewelry making tutorials

Hi, Tracey! To be able to help you I would need to see your work, so if you don't mind, send me a photo on my FB profile: facebook.com/spetki Meantime I can tell I'm using John James needles: www.perlesandco.co.uk/Beading_needle_Size_12_51_mm_x25-p-8913.html The size of the bicon is 3mm, not bigger. Try and change the seed beads, sometimes they can be a bit smaller. And be sure the bicones you are using are real Swarovski.

Sidonia's handmade jewelry I use 4lb Fireline. :-)

Sidonia's handmade jewelry thanks my issue may be partly the fireline i am using 8lb. i broke 3 needles last night and ended up cutting up the three attempts i made. im trying to make for my mom a gift. i am attempting again now if i cant get it then i will have to order new needles and fireline . i did save the first one i did that was to big-the one i was referring to maybe i will try to send a pic of it . right now i am trying to use only 6 3mm bicones . they are real swarovski. thanks!

i may have figured out my issue. i wanted only one color seed beed and bought only #11 not #15 so i was trying to bezel with only #11. Would this be my problem? im sad as i really liked my seed beed and they only make in #11

Yes, unfortunately, that is a problem. This pattern does not work with 11/0s, I'm sorry. :-( What color are you talking about, Tracey?
