The best beaded bezel for odd shaped stones

I’ve missed you. My husband passed away from brain cancer, and beading was a great help to me. Thanks Jennifer 💐

MY word!! I've been searching for ways to start securing some gorgeous stones that I have. I tried wiring them BUT, besides my horrible job at it, I hated the look of it. It looked like a bunch of yarn around a cat. Beading around them is the BEST way to keep them secure plus the result is fantastic and beautiful. ALSO, "balancing" the beads around unevenness (@30:25 min), not only is something I would've never thought doing but it does balance it beautifully and you can't even tell one side has more #15 than the rest around the uneven shaped perimeter of the stone. Even if adding one more round of seed beads to secure it even more, the stone is so much larger than the beads that it won't make it look smaller. Over all it's a brilliant idea for uneven anything. Many thanks.

JASPER QUARTZ CARNELIAN AND THOSE BLUE STONES ARE GREAT TOGETHER WITH THOSE GORGEOUS SEED BEADS JENNIFER!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO 👍👍😃😃👋👋

Thank you so much for showing how to do the step up each time, I find it hard to know where to step up when some one says step up but doesn't bother to show you how each time. Some people need to see that every step of the way until the end. Great for beginners. I had these stones for over 20 years and finally I can do something with them. Sorry for your children's loss. The Stone looks great.

Glad to see you back! GREAT video! Loved the piece. 😊

So perfectly timed - I've just seen some beautiful labradorite stones and now I know how to bezel around them! Thank you for an excellent, very practical tutorial. Welcome Back.

So sorry for your loss. Thanks for this tutorial. Can't wait to try it.

Thank you so much, I've bought so many precious and semi precious stones but my wiring has a lot to be desired, this helps a lot for ideas. Bless you xx

Hi there. I'm so sorry to hear about what you and your family went thru. I'm so glad you came back to beading. I'm a self taught artist . I do gemstones, crystals, wire wrapping and beadweaving jewelry and special ornaments meant to be displayed. I sell at craft fairs and poshmark. I have never known how to bezel a stone that is irregular or any cabochon for that matter. I have a plethora of them and didn't just want to wire wrap them. I can't thank you enough for showing us how to bezel an irregular stone with beadweaving. You explain everything very clearly. Now I can get busy bezeling my gemstones. I know how to do rivolis but not cabs and stones. So once again thanks so much for your help and for your tutorials. I just found you today and I'm so happy I did. You're a great teacher. Sincerely, your new friend from Florida Melissa Doucette.

Thank you for this brilliantly useful tutorial. I have lots of things to use this on. I am so sorry about your loss, and your children's loss, so sad.

Thank you Jennifer for a nice and useful tutorial, Carnelian is one of my favorite stones and the combination of colors you choose showcases the stone very nicely. I am very sorry about your loss, I am glad you started beading again, that is a big step on your healing process, much love and Blessings to you and your children. 💕

Thank you very much for your tutorial Jennifer. 🌺

Saw that someone commented on the extended showing of 'step up' and I want to add that this is so helpful to me as I have struggled with this and found your emphasis of repeating this a big boon. Love your showing how to bezel odd shapes.

Thank-you so much Jennifer; Sorry to hear of your families' loss, and really happy to know your well enough to be back to teach again

This was absolutely amazing and so helpful. Thanks for the detailed video🙏🏽❤️

Just found you needing to bead my cabochons and found your vid really helpfully thank you 😊

Nice to see you back Jennifer! I agree with previous comments, looks like Carnelian, one of my favourites.

Thanks I’ve been doing bezel on odd shapes and it’s been a struggle. This helped...

Blessings to you and family. Welcome back.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Now i know what to do with ppls souvenirs! 😁😉❤
