Bezel with bail
[1] If desired, coat the back surface of
the rivoli with an even layer of clear nail
polish, and allow it to dry.
[2] On 1 yd. (.9 m) of Fireline or
thread, pick up 52 110 cylinder beads,
and tie them into a ring with a square
knot (Online Basics), leaving a 12-in.
(30 cm) tail. Sew through a few beads,
pulling the knot into a bead.
[3] Picking up one cylinder per stitch,
work two rounds of tubular peyote
stitch (Online Basics).
[4] Picking up one 130 Charlotte per
stitch, work two rounds of peyote. Pull
the thread snug so that the beadwork
begins to curve inward.
[5] Picking up one 150 Charlotte per
stitch, work one round of peyote.
If you have trouble getting your needle
through the 150 Charlottes, you may
want to switch to #15 needles. Secure
the thread with a few half-hitch knots
(Online Basics), but dont trim.
[6] Insert the rivoli, coated side down,
into the beadwork. To complete the bezel,
thread a needle on the 12-in. (30 cm) tail,
and work one round of peyote with one
130 per stitch and one round with one 150
per stitch. End the tail (Online Basics).

Bow
[1] Add a new 1-yd. (.9 m) thread
(Online Basics) to the bezel, and exit the
next cylinder in the middle round of the
bezel on one side of the bail (figure 2,
point a). Work as in step 7 of Bezel
with bail to make a three-bead ladder
with 17 stacks, and form a loop. Do not
end the thread.
[2] Sew through the three beads of the
first ladder stitch (ab).
[3] Pick up a 150, and sew through the
three beads in the next ladder stitch (bc).
Repeat (cd) along the rest of the loop.
When you reach the end, sew through
the first ladder stitch so you exit the side
that does not have a 150 (figure 3, ab).
[4] Repeat step 3, adding a 150 between
each pair of stacks that doesnt have
one (bc). When youve added 150s
along the entire loop, sew through the
beadwork to exit the first 150 added on
one side (figure 4, ab). Pick up a 150,
and sew through the next 150 along the
edge (bc). Repeat along the entire edge,
then sew through to the other edge of
the loop. Repeat to embellish the other
loop edge. End the thread.
[5] To make a tail for the bow, add a
new 1-yd. (.9 m) thread to the bezel,
and exit a cylinder adjacent to one of
the loops (figure 5, point a). Pick up two
130s, a cylinder, and two 130s, and sew
through an adjacent cylinder (ab). Sew
through the cylinder you exited at the
start of this step and the first four beads
just added (bc). Pick up a 130, a cylinder,
and a 130, and sew through the middle
130, cylinder, and 130 in the previous
stitch (cd). Working as in step 7 of
Bezel with bail, stitch a three-bead
ladder that is 13 stacks long. Do not
form it into a loop. Working as in steps
24, embellish the ladder. Exit a cylinder
about halfway down the ladder, and sew
through a bead in the bezel and through
the cylinder in the ladder again. Repeat
to tack the ladder to the bezel in a few
places. End the thread.
[6] Repeat steps 15 on the other side
of the bail.

Necklace
[1] Cut a 14-in. (36 cm) piece of beading wire and an 18-in. (46 cm) piece of
WireLace. With an end of each aligned,
thread the end 1 in. (2.5 cm) of the
beading wire into the end 1 in. (2.5 cm)
of WireLace, so the beading wire is
inside the tube of WireLace. String a
crimp bead over the beading wire and
WireLace (photo b). Crimp the crimp
bead (Online Basics). Trim the end of
the WireLace and beading wire if needed.
[2] Manipulate the first 9 in. (23 cm)
of WireLace by pinching and pulling
the WireLace as desired (photo c).
[3] String 1015 130s on the beading
wire, then go through the WireLace
(photo d). Repeat several times until
you reach the center of the necklace.
[4] String the bail of the pendant over
the beading wire and the WireLace.
[5] String the other side of the necklace
as in steps 2 and 3, string a crimp bead
on the beading wire and WireLace as in
step 1, and crimp.
Clasp
[1] On 1 yd. (.9 m) of thread, pick up
six 130s, and sew through all six beads
again to form a ring. Before snugging up
the ring, slip the ring over the crimp
bead on one end of the necklace. Sew
through the next two 130s, and pull the
beads snug so they fit tightly around
the beading wire and WireLace below
the crimp bead (photo e).
[2] Picking up one 130 per stitch,
work in tubular peyote stitch (photo f)
for about six to eight rounds to cover
the crimp bead. Sew through the beads
in the final round of peyote to taper
the end.
[3] Pick up a cylinder and a 130, and
sew through the next two 130s in the
end round of peyote (photo g). Pick up
a 150 and a cylinder, and sew down
through the first cylinder, and up
through the first 130 picked up in this
step (photo h).
[4] Pick up a 130 and a 150, and sew
down through the next 150, and up
through the next cylinder. Pick up a
cylinder and a 130, and sew down
through the next 130, and up through
the following 150. Pick up a 150 and
a cylinder, and sew down through

CHANGE IT UP
To make this variation with a 30 x 22 mm
oval stone, adapt the instructions
as follows:
Start the bezel with 64 cylinders.
Instead of making a ladder stitch bail,
stitch 18 rows of cylinders in odd-count
peyote (Online Basics), making a threebead-wide strip, and form it into a loop.
Instead of making a ladder stitch bow
with tails, work in modified increasing and
decreasing square stitch (Online Basics)
to make a strip that is 19 rows long
(figure 6), then sew through the first
cylinder to make a loop. Stitch another
18 rows off of the original cylinder to make
a second loop. Embellish the bow as in
steps 3 and 4 of Bow. Attach the bow
to a cylinder at the top of the stone, adding a 6 mm pearl to the front of the bow.
