How to Bezel a Rivoli

Before you begin the next two rounds, make sure that the tail of your thread is coming out behind the Rivoli and not from the front of the beadwork. As you work rounds 6 and 7, hold the Rivoli in place in the bezel cup with one hand while you stitch with the other. (Hold the Rivoli with your non-dominant hand and add the beads for the round with your dominant hand to make things easier.) Pull the beads snugly so that the work continues to curl up around the edges of the Rivoli. At the end of seventh round, the beadwork should be snug enough to hold the Rivoli in place, but may still move slightly around the crystal.
