This probably the easiest bezel I have ever done and have completed 4. Thanks, Leah.
Thank so much Elaine! 💖💖💖
Love your enthusiasm and tone. I am an intermediate beginner-need the basics but I don’t feel talked down to.
Thanks so much Anna!
This is so beautiful
Thank you for watching! 🥰
I am so happy to see another Leah video! She is the absolute best teacher, her designs are beautiful, and her finished pieces always look so finished and professional. I've missed her ❤️
Aww thanks Amanda! I'm glad you like the projects!
We totally agree! Thanks for watching Amanda 💖
I've made this a few times. It works great---AND it's pretty quick for a 27mm rivoli bezel.
Great to hear!
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.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely genius, and gorgeous too. Wow and just wow!!!❤
Thanks so much 😊
Thanks Angela!
I just completed my first one, absolutely beautiful. I used Toho 11 and they worked fine. Thanks Leah😊
Wonderful!
Beautiful ❣️❣️❣️..... do you sell completed works??
Hi Victoria, thanks for watching! To answer your question, no we are a bead and jewelry making supply company - we don't offer any finished jewelry.
Just finished mine! Your tutorial is wonderful! Thank you SO much!!! I had a little trouble with getting my bail the right tension and had to start over but not your fault...good to learn! I think this is a great way to do a bezel!
Wonderful!
That is a beautiful pendant. Love the colors. Thank you so much for this great idea.
Thank you so much!
The half tealas will cradle the stone without covering it to much- Thank you Leah for this tutorial!!
Thanks for watching Ellie! 💕
So gorgeous 😍 I love how it doesn't cover that oh beautiful Swarovski. Thank you ❤
Thank you! 😊
Love this pendant.. But When I finish the crystals.. It will wiggle.. What do I wrong..? 😣
Is it possible that it's just an issue with tension?
So beautiful! Anxious to give this a try. TFS!
Hope you enjoy it!
This is absolutely stunning, got to have one of these thanks for the tutorial
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks Carol!
Very beautiful only problome I have is I have loads of beads but there bigger not for something with a danty look but still beautiful and I don't have the money to buy any of the materials needed cuse I'm using my money to help pay for food and stuff so my parents don't have to streatch there's tell there next paycheck. Crona has really made it hard to buy a lot of things even through online but I hope your doing well and staying safe 💙
Thank you, you too!
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
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...
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!
Beautiful! Maybe it's my young eyes but I don't have any problem following along despite the white on white. 😍
Thank you!
Exquisite! Thank you! 💖🌷💍💎
You’re very welcome! 😊
Our pleasure!
Very nice but the colors were hard to see against the white beading mat.
Ok, thank you.
I really need to do this! I got the supplies, I just haven’t been managing my time well.
It works up so fast - you'll be amazed! 💓
I tried to follow but it’s very hard to see the white beads on the white beading mat.
Hi Josephine, which part did you have trouble following?
Does it matter which way you pick up the half tilas as one side is flatter than the other?
It doesn't matter for this design 💗 Thanks for watching!
@@EurekaCrystalBeads thank you.
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.
@@tiasmom6225 no problem. I just learned that they had two different sides. Never knew that.
hard to see with white on white but very pretty.
Thank you! Cheers!
Can you do it with a 14 mm rivoli
In theory, yes...or something similar with some tweaks... give it a try and report back!! :-)
Gorrrrrgeeeeousss! Thank you!
Thanks SueEllen!!
You are so welcome!
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.
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! 🎂🎈💐
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.
Thanks for the tips!
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.❤️🌹
