How to bezel a 16mm rivoli without covering it too much Materials used: 16mm Swarovski rivoli; 3mm Swarovski bicones; Miyuki 15/0 round seedbeads; Size 10 or 12 beading needle; 4lb or 6lb Fireline thread.
You read my mind with this method of bezeling your rivoli! I have been looking for a way that uses minimal beads to allow the rivoli to shine for itself! Perfect!
Fantastic, the best and the easier way.Today I watched your video and following the instructions I make two pair of earrings and one ring. Thank you, thank you.
I modified this pattern to fit a 14mm rivoli by using 12 3mm bicones with 12 15/0's in between and only 3 15/0's in the 2nd & 3rd rows if anyone finds this helpful.
So Beautiful. You make it look so simple. Can't wait to try it. I came across your site by accident and I wish I had found you months ago. Simply beautiful work and you are so patient and soft spoken. Great Tutorial.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm on YT since August so don't feel sorry for not finding me before. :) My boyfriend tells me that my voice is too low and that I should speak louder but when I concentrate on the beading I always forget to keep the voice high. :) So I appreciate very much when you say that I am soft spoken. :)) Big hugs, Sidonia
OMG...I LOVE your video! I have been trying to find an easier way to do this for a long time... I will be doing mine this way from now on...Thank You for sharing!
Wonderful! i find the rivolis to be so beautiful it seems a shame to cover them up as much as the other bezels i have done. This is a great method. Thanks so very much for all your efforts and creative ideas.
Pardon me if I missed this, but can you post a beaded bail for these beauties? I love the bezel and can't wait to try, but what to do with them next? Thank you so much.
would love text version so i can follow by reading instead of watching ;) i like to keep referring back to make sure i am doing it right and its hard with video. your tutorials are lovely beautiful creations!
Hi! I made a necklace using 14mm rivolis, so you can see how I made the bezel here: Sidonia's handmade jewelry - Blue Roses Necklace - Swarovski Necklace P1
Hi Sidonia, thank you for posting this you tube instruction. I have used it several times now and I am currently trying to reduce the pattern to fit a 12mm rivoli without much luck. I have used the pattern as is and find that its too much to pull in to fit tightly at the back and have also tried reducing the sizing without much luck. Are you able to help me with the correct pattern, please. Thank you in advance for your kind help. Betty
Hello Betty, I have a tutorial for a 12mm rivoli, find it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-27V4gAeHjw8.html. I hope it's what you're looking for. :)
Hi Sidonia. I love your way to bezel very much. Not too much over the stone. Can I use the same technique to bezel a cabochon 13×18 mm? (With 3 mm bicones and 15/0 seedbeads) Thank you so much in advance. Love, Jolanda
Hi and thank you, Jolanda! Yes, you can, you'll just need to figure out yourself how to close/cover the back side, but that shouldn't be too difficult, once you made the row of units around the stone. Just play with the beads, and don't worry if you'll need to make a few attempts, that's exactly how I learned too. :)
Your designs are gorgeous, your tutorials are great and I truly appreciate the time and effort you put in for us but I find I can't hear you very well, it sounds like your talking to yourself. Sorry I don't mean to criticise but it gets a bit frustrating
+Bonnie King Hi Bonnie, it should work with 12 bicones. I will make more videos, but right now I'm working on some projects I would like to teach in workshops, in UK, hopefully. :-) Have a nice day too!
I have not tried this technique on this size of cab yet, but, I did bezeled a 30x22 cab; here it is Sidonia's handmade jewelry - 30x22mm Swarovski cabochon ring if you didn't already see it, of course. :-)
Hello and thank you! The bicones are 3mm and the seeds are 15/0. You can always find the materials list in the description box, under the video, just click show more :). Sidonia
Thank you Sidonia. Yes I watched it a few minutes ago and of course i found it quite appropriate to bezel my oval cabochon. But the technic you used for the round one seemed more interesting to me because it has the advantage to not cover to much the front of the cabochon. And that's just what I want it to be. The cabochon is having nice flowers painted on it. So I'd like the bezel to cover it the least as possible....That's why I wondered if I could use this technic
سلام خیلی قشنگه اما من حرف های قشنگ شمارو توجه نمیشم کاش کنار وسایل هاتون منظورم منجوق و نگین اینا هستش سایز شون رو کنارش بنوسید ماهم متوجه بشیم ببخشید سایر نگین و کریستال چنده میشه بگین
Here you can find 14mm and 18mm bezeled rivolis: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-asybQhHEqaA.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0pHYI6F7ctQ.html
Have my volume high as it will go and you are talking too quietly can and not enunciating clearly, I am having to guess at what you say and keep going back to try and re listen, which is quite frustrating and bothersome! .....otherwise, I love this project thankyou for sharing
your jewelry is gorgeous, but your videos are very hard to follow. You speak very quietly and really don't explain exactly what you are doing. Try checking out some videos by Kelly Dale from OFF THE BEADED PATH.....she is an excellent instructor......I've been trying all day to get this piece figured out....will keep trying ;-) thanks for your beautiful work.
I'm really sorry you are having trouble following the video. I know my voice is low, in fact I'm going to buy my self a microphone. Which steps you don't understand? Maybe I can help by writing them to you. I know Kelly, I've learnt a lot from her :-). Anyway, this was one of my first tutorials ever. I was very shy and afraid of speaking in English because afraid of doing mistakes.
Sidonia's handmade jewelry your English is fine, just couldn't hear.....I just watched the video over and over again until I got it.....I really do love your work.
