PDF Tutorial for a French Beaded Bezel. The PDF is 3 pages long and contains 14 images along with detailed written instructions.

This tutorial demonstrates a easy technique I’ve modified to make a beaded bezel around a rivoli crystal. The technique can be easily altered to accommodate other stones without holes to use them for flower centers or other decorations.

Only the flower center shown in the picture above is taught.

You will need to be familiar with the Continuous Loop French Beading technique, which is taught for free in my Learn French Beading section.
