Step 1: making the bezel

String 22 A and close to form a

ring: the thread will exit from the
bead marked by the blue arrow.
String the stone (P) following the
path (first the black one and
then the red one) as shown in
fig. 1

Fig. 1

Fig. 2
Work a sst round with A on each bead
of the ring*** and another one with B
on each bead of previous round.
Go with the thread to the opposite side
of the stone and work a sst round with
B.
The bezel stone will look like that in the
fig. 2, in which you can also see were
the thread exits.

Fig. 3 side view

Now lets make a little ring with

B for joining the earring with the
earwire.
Pass the thread through the two
rounds of A and string 12 B,
pass again through the previous
path (follow the red path) as
shown in the fig.3. Close the
work.

Step 2: the flower

Lets begin proceeding as the step 1 but using C instead of A

and stopping at the point marked by the asterisks ***
