After checking out what everyone
else made I decided my original post idea probably did not fit the ask. I
decided I would try to make a beaded bezel, however I’m not a bead weaver so I
wanted to make a different type of bezel. I chose a Blue Goldstone GoGo Donut
to add a bezel to. Because it has the large hole I wanted to make one that
would wrap around the stone.
I planned to make a right angle
weave piece. After 4 attempts and 4 failures I gained a new respect for anyone
who works with those tiny seed Beads and turns out amazing designs.
I eventually turned to wire,
stringing the seed beads onto 3 lengths of wire and wrapping and twisting to form a
bail. Because the stone had some minor damage, I used a hypo cement glue to add
Swarovski Crystals on top of the damaged sections. I lost the name of the
colour but they remind me of black diamond colouring.

My originally planned post is
below.
To meet today’s challenge for a handmade bezel I decided to go with a wrapped bezel. Not sure if it qualifies but my metal working skills were not up to the timeline of the challenge.
I took a gorgeous Dogtooth Amethyst
with an unusual shape and wrapped it with half round Sterling Silver wire. That
unusual shape? It reminded me of an apple.
