The Luxor Marquise Bezel is a lavish showpiece that will add elegance to any outfit. In this PotomacBeads tutorial you will learn how to use a modified ladder stitch to create a bezel for the Potomac crystal navette.
Use an 8/0 seed bead from your project for a stop bead. Leave a little bit of tail thread. Put on another 8/0, an 11/0 seed bead and 2 more 8/0s. Thread back through the first two beads to pull them together to begin a ladder stitch.
Watch the Luxor Marquise Bezel tutorial to follow along with Anna as she teaches you how to create the beautiful bezel and beaded necklace.
When you are done the stringing portion of your necklace, it’s time to make the clasp. Use seed beads to form a loop, measuring it to fit the bead you choose to use as a toggle. Check to make sure the thread is tight throughout the necklace and reinforce the loop and bring the thread down through the rest of the beads and tie off.
The Luxor Marquise Bezel shows you how uncomplicated it can be to make stunning jewelry. It makes a great gift that’s sure to be treasured, or keep it to enjoy for yourself. You’ll find many beautiful beading ideas at PotomacBeads.
