Thanks, Sylvie :-) I'm sorry for the bronzie seed beads, I use them because they easily match with almost any color. I would so much like to try new colors, but where I live there aren't beads stores, so I have to buy everything online and the thing is I have lots of them, bought online, I don't use because they are not like I thought they were when I bought them.

OoooH! I'm so sorry for you Sidonia because all of your Design's are so Beautiful & it's fun to be able to play whit other colors!! Thank's for your response to me:-)

Grazie! :-)

Yes, Mary, you are right abot both things: Miyuki seeds and dark bicones. I also don't like the thread showing through the bicones. :-)

Sidonia's handmade jewelry Anche io ho usato le Toho e l'incastonatura è venuta troppo larga. Devo ritentare con le Miyuki, che son più piccoline. L'anello è carinissimo, come tutto quello che fai tu. Brava, brava, brava!!!

Grazie, Antonella! :-)

Thank you, Maria! Oh yes, you'll enjoy a lot making this cute ring. :)

Maria Alvarez where will you order the chaton?

CyberTrainer If you are in Europe, you can find them here: perlesandco.co.uk bricolart.com hobbyperline.com In the USA: fusionbeads.com Sidonia :)

Thanks for the reply; but I'm in the US. I've now checked with 2 of the 3 bead stores in my area. Next I'll probably check Etsy!

CyberTrainer Ok, good hunt! :-)

Grazie, Rachele, mi fa molto piacere. :-)

Hi, Heather! I think you are talking about Rivolis, if so, check this video on how to bezel a 16mm one. Sidonia's handmade jewelry - How to bezel a 16mm rivoli

Hi Kristine, what size and type of thread do you use? And what size needles?

Thank you and welcome, Amallia! :-) The size is correct, SS39; please be sure you are using Miyuki seed beads: no other brand would work.

Hello and thank you! :-) I bought the chatons here: www.perlesandco.com/Cabochon_Swarovski_1028_8_mm_Blue_Zircon-p-1251.html

+Emz Rivera Thank you, Emz, you're sweet! I live in Gallipoli, south Italy. Cali must be a beautiful city, I might visit it someday. :-)

Thank you! :-) 1. If you weren't a beginner, I would have told you to try and modify the number of the seed beads in order to adapt the pattern to fit a rivoli, which is not the same thing as the chaton. Chatons have a diamond shape and rivolis have a bicone shape. Chatons are also a bit more "fatty" than rivolis. 2. Here is a link with a size conversion chart www.laughinghens.com/knitting-needle-sizes.asp 3. Size 0.15 should be the 6lb, 0.008inch. I also use 4lb. 4. I use John James needles; sizes 10, 12 and 13. Sidonia :-)

You are probably using a rivoli instead of a chaton. The difference between the two is that the chaton has a diamond shape/cut while the rivoli has a bicone shape and it is also smaller, even if, theoretically, of the same size - 8mm. See the links bellow to see what I'm talking about: chaton encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS2-aRjKz_Ez4iXXdMk2lfZQCLzw-3taRofg5EGh-ndtWiXbg1mig rivoli encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSCjGUPNguodc_tba827GGyaphvcGNLYjFvu-1-2nLx6uMO3jCt

I bought an 8 mm Chaton from Fusion beads. It seemed like they were really short for the space with a little extra room around the outside of it. I reinforced the seed beads several times to tighten it. It worked, but is a little bunched in one spot. Thanks for your beautiful videos Sidonia! I really enjoyed the work you do!

Thank you, Jeanne. I forgot to ask you what brand of seed beads are you using. You should use Miyuki as the other brands are a little bit bigger. :-)

I'm not exactly sure. I bought them from a bead store in a tune. I'll have to look up the code.

Ask if they have Miyukis; the building of the bezel is very precise and only works with those seeds which are around 1.5mm.

I didn't try to make it with an 8mm round, so I don't know, but I would like to try it one of this days and if I'll succeed I will make a tutorial. Sidonia :)

I made a practice one last night with the 8mm round. It turned out very good! I'll try to post a pic soon.

CyberTrainer Oh, yes please! Thank you! :-)

I'm trying to figure out how to do it now! lol I'm just starting to use Google+ Circles.

CyberTrainer :D You can post it on my Facebook page, if you want: facebook.com/spetki

Thank you! :-) I think 18mm thread should work.

+Melanie Padilla I wouldn't recomend using a size 10, you might broke your seed beads at some point. Size 13 is smaller than 13, so is ok to use it.

+Bonnie King Hi and thank you, Bonnie! And same to you! No, a rivoli would not work because it's smaller than a chaton. Nonetheless you could try and reduce the bezel on the back, it may work. :-)

Thanks Sidonia for your help

Try using ten bicones, Rosemary. You may have to adjust the number of the seed beads at some point, though.

Sidonia's handmade jewelry Yes, I think I will try ten. I Guess I will have to see how many seed beads I will need as I go along.

É plastico, Fireline. :-)

+blue Blue leggi le note sotto il video. Sidonia le mette sempre per esteso! Se non le vedi cicca sul bottone "mostra altro" e si aprirà la tendina con il resto delle note

I dont' think a bicone woukd work, but someone told me that 8mm round works.

No, it isn't. Search on Google for both, separately, and you'll be able to see the difference.
