Rovoli with pellets

Difficulty: 2
Technique: basic beadweaving

Brooch using PRECIOSA Pellet™

The edging of stones, buttons, cabochons and other central costume jewellery components is one of the most popular procedures in beadworking involving the use of seed beads and fine beads. Preciosa Ornela presents a tutorial for the creation of a broach based on the edging of a Rivoli stone with seed beads and beads from the Preciosa Traditional Czech Beads™. brand. We also present the new PRECIOSA Pellet™ bead which excellently complements various types of seed beads and beads.
