You look so happy with the ring you've made,and seem's enjoying what you do.I'm happy to learn from your happy videos. Love your clean finished ring.So much appreciated.
what a difference it makes when you use miyuki! i tried with toho, and it was a loose mess. when i used miyuki it was perfect. thanks for the beautiful ring and great tutorial
Sidonia you are absolutely amazing! I've been wanting to learn how to make seed bead jewelry and your tutorial give me just what need to learn! Thank you. Your brilliant and your work is stunning!
I really appreciate your tutorials Sidonia... they're perfect! This ring is also beautiful... I just made one and it turned out great! Thank you so much for sharing.
I absolutely love your youtube tutorials. I have made the beaded cap earrings, the half tila earrings, the sunset glare earrings and this beaded solitaire. You are a wonderful teacher and designer. Can you possibly do a bezeled 8 mm x 10 mm oval chaton? Also, I would love to see how you would make a bezeled oval fancy stone. Your designs are so intricate yet easy. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Sidonia, meu nome é Madalena e moro no Brasil. Encontrei seu trabalho a dias semanas e no momento estou afastada do trabalho me tratando de cancer de mama. Tenho um projeto de arteterapia e vou usar suas ideias. Achei seu trabalho espetacular, divino, maravilhoso. Voce sabe explicar muito bem com as mãos, pois eu não entendo ingles e mesmo assim eu acho muito facil entender o que voce faz. Parabéns e que Deus te abençoe muito. abraço.
So Beautiful Sidonia & i really appreciated the fact that you have change the color for the green one to end-up your Bezel because it's very easy to see what you doing specially you are very Bronzy color fan of your Design's & it's hard sometime to see all of your step whit this Bronze color so Thank's Sidonia,great tut vid. & I really love this Fabulous Ring:-)
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:-)
Looks like Miyuki is the key. I didn't have them, so I used TOHO. The basket was then too large, so I used a size 47ss Rivoli. It fit great, but several 15.0's broke as I made so many passes through them. I think it's also important to use darker bicones so you don't see the thread passing through them. Can't wait to try it again with proper materials! Thanks for the tutorial!
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!!!
I made this, but the chaton would not fit snugly, I guess my beads weren't miyuki, so I snugged the ring up with some picots on top of the chaton and around the bicones. It mostly covered up the chaton, but it looks nice. Wanted to add a photo, but don't see where I can add that in this post. Anyway, I love your work. Will try this again, but will use Miyuki seeds next time....
Wow, now I can directly translate here, I don't need to copy and paste from here to Google Translate anymore! This is so great! Thank you, I'm really happy you like it and most of all, that you approve! :D Sidonia
Hello, I just love your talent you make absolutely beautiful jewelry. On the solitaire ring do you make written instructions where I could purchase it.thank you
Hello Sidonia. If I use miyuki deli a beads what kind of adjustment can I make to hold the chaton a bit tighter. When done using your instructions it's a lil bit loose. What would you recommend?
What a beautiful design! Couldn't wait to make it, but although I'm using a ss39 and miyuki 15/0's, the chaton is loose in its casing and keeps falling out of it. What else could I do? Please help, because I like the design so much!
Hi Sidonia, a question for you. the cage for my naughty chaton seems big. could my tension have been to loose? or could it be because I used 15/0 toho seed beads and not miyuki? love this ring and want it to come out right. thanks for you reply.
I love your projects, I worked succesfully on your beded bead, I am getting through the "making the ring look square with the rivoli". Refering to this Project, I would like to ask you where I can buy it or where did you buy the "Blue Zircon Swaroski Chaton", Thanks for your lovely tutorials.
Every tutorials are wonderful,especialy your rings! The only problem for me is the band made with 15/0 every time I try to reenforce the beads brake, and I'm always finish my ring . Can you give me any ides of making m band her it is attach at the component? Thank you.
This is a beautiful ring! I have never made jewelry before and I want to try this but I have a few questions: 1. Can I use rivoli instead of chaton? (Or are they the same thing?) 2. What is size 12 beading thread? The online store I am using only has Size 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, B, or D. 3. What is size 0.15 Fireline thread? The online store I am using has 4lb, 6lb, 8 lb, etc. 4. What type and size needle are you using? Thank you so very much for your time and your lovely designs!
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 :-)
Hello. How much fire line are you using? I've skimmed through twice but didn't catch it. Thanks! It is beautiful and would like to try to make some for Christmas gifts :)
hi, thank you for this beautifull video but it's to larg for the chaton 8mm. I have take 8 mm blue zircon chaton, 3mm blue zircon bicone and miyuki 15/0 but dosn't fit. :( sorry for my english !
Sidonia, I have tried twice to make the ring because I love it! Both times, the chaton seems like it moves about in the base. I have followed the directions exactly. What could I be doing wrong?
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!
Hello, good evening, very good creations, please bring the camera closer to your hands, sometimes you can't see what you're doing, and if you could put the number of stones you take at each step, thank you and congratulations.
I love this video! I have a lot of vintage 16mm chatons that are perfect for this. How many bicones would be needed? How many extra rows would be needed to keep the chaton in place?
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 Sidonia I love this tutorial and made it today. I was using the SS39 Swarovski chaton, seem that at times the chaton will not fit snugly. Is it the correct size? Or should I use SS40 instead? Thanks so much for the lovely tutorial, I really enjoy it!
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 :)
+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. :-)
+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

very nice, can't wait to get the 15/0 and chaton to make this.
Thank u this is so beautiful. And u made it look ez. I will definitely try this.
It is sooo beautyful and clear and easy to make👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️😊

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! :-)
Lindo o anel Sidonia!!!!! Parabéns pelo talento!
Wow! How beautiful! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! ☺
Wow!!!! That is gorgeous. Is there a tutorial for a beginner ring?

Can't wait to make one for myself 💞❤️

hi, thank you for this beautifull video but it's to larg for the chaton 8mm. I have take 8 mm blue zircon chaton, 3mm blue zircon bicone and miyuki 15/0 but dosn't fit. :(

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.
bellissimo, complimenti!! ^_^
Grazie! :-)
Beautiful
Sidonia, have you tried this with 3mm Czech Fire Polish crystal? Also, would Swarovski 3mm rounds work as well? Thanks in advance.
Hello, good evening, very good creations, please bring the camera closer to your hands, sometimes you can't see what you're doing, and if you could put the number of stones you take at each step, thank you and congratulations.
Hi sidonia .. where are you located i wish your from cali and i
would love to take an actual class with you!! your works are awesome
+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. :-)
I love this video!

Hi Sidonia
I love this tutorial and made it today. I was using the SS39 Swarovski chaton, seem that at times the chaton will not fit snugly. Is it the correct size? Or should I use SS40 instead?
Thanks so much for the lovely tutorial, I really enjoy it!
Thank you and welcome, Amallia! :-)
The size is correct, SS39; please be sure you are using Miyuki seed beads: no other brand would work.
hi sidonia. Thread which do you use in your business type. thank you. Video in French if possible
Can it be .18mm thread?? , I love your videos by the way, the only reason why I started beading is because of you! :)
Thank you! :-)
I think 18mm thread should work.
Tenho duvidas quanto ao tipo de linha. É de plastico, arame?
É plastico, Fireline. :-)
I do not have 8mm chaton, but I do have 10mm. Will this work? How many 3mm bicones should I use with 10m chaton?
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.
also what pound test of fireline did you use?
Muito lindos sua bijuterias
Very nice! I going to try and make one this weekend! But, can you use an 8mm round instead of a chaton?
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
hii!! can you please tell me what kind of thread is that?
Does it have to be size 12 beading thread or will a .13 or .10 work as well?
+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.
Omg.. two rings.. evil laugh :D Isnt it possible to use a bicone instead of a chaton? :( I dont have chatons :(
I dont' think a bicone woukd work, but someone told me that 8mm round works.
is this ring available to purchase ?
hi Sadonia can a rivoli work the same way as the chaton ?
thanks have a sparkly day!
+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
thank you
bellissimo bravissima , ma non capisco le misure delle perline e degli swarovski che misura sono? vorrei provare a farlo :))))))))

Belíssimo 👏👏👏👏👏👏
essa aula é muito boa. Mas poderia ser dada em Portugues.
Is a chaton like a rivolli or no?
No, it isn't. Search on Google for both, separately, and you'll be able to see the difference.
Asi es dificil seguir el paso a paso falta enfoque,paso siguiente
Hermoso pero falta enfoque pausa en el paso a paso
😍😍🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏
lindos!!!
no puede ser en español
No lo esplicas desde el comienzo se ve hermoso pero que lastima si lo esplicaras desde el comienzo se ve hermoso lastima
Someone stole your video
Wow!!!! That is gorgeous. Is there a tutorial for a beginner ring?
