I love how you can bezel a stone and with very little effort, end up with something fit for royalty. Id like to turn those upside down and add a drop bead to the bottom. Thanks Stephanie !!!
Aww thank you 🙏😊
Definitely would love bracelet and necklace. Anything you design and share is greatly appreciated. Thankyou
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the review, I’m sure many of us were wondering about the new dragon thread and appreciate the honest review. I think it will be great for those small bezels because it is more like a soft thread and molds to the beads better than the thicker threads. So I’m definitely going to get some dragon thread. As far as more videos with this bezel, I think it would be great to see what you come up with. Love all of your designs 💜
Thank you! Yes absolutely, you said it beautifully.
I get so excited when I get alerts of a new video! Just bought a bunch of rivolis and received the thread from Potomac also...will be trying to make these this weekend! Thanks!
Wonderful!
First of all… Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us. You make it easy to follow. I’ve been curious about the dragon thread so thank you again for the review. Yes! Would love to see this design in a festive new look❣️FaLaLaLa🎄
You are so welcome! I see you re in gate Christmas spirit 🤣 🎄
I haven't had Rivolis to do any of these type products until I found an old antique looking flower necklace in my stash, found at a thrift store, so I took it apart. I think I'll try this simple pattern an then connect them for a bracelet...they're a pretty apricot color!
Perfect timing! I just got some of this thread and thought I'd try to make a bangle with it just for a small project to test. I like very much the concept of smaller packaging along with the thought that it may have a nice drape for necklaces. Thanks so much for the preview and the instructions for the beautiful earrings :)
Looks goo for a bangle! I haven't tried it yet.
Thank you for reviewing this thread for us! I have been wondering about it, and respect your point of view on quality and usability so I knew I could go off of your opinion on it. And I do love these earrings! Please do make some more pieces with it, can't wait to see them if you do! Thanks again for sharing your expertise and talents!
Glad it was helpful!
You are so right Stephanie, this is a great thread addition to our standard Fireline and Wildfire choices. I have tried Dragon Thread also for bezeled Rivoli’s and it does work beautifully. Thank you for the all the effort you put into sharing your expertise. I truly feel your love of beading continues to spread the interest for the advanced and beginner beader. A Tivoli Bracelet! Can't wait.
Thank you Patti 💖🌻😀🙏
Love the earrings and yes please a bracelet and pendant to make a set would be wonderful. Take care☺️🌻🐝
Thank you! You too!
Beautiful and if course we want you to do a bracelet and necklace tutorial 😁❣❣❣
Coming soon!
On your Rivoli Tivoli earrings, I've used Miyuki drops instead of crystals and it's super cute. Thank you for the Dragon Thread 🐉 review! 🌻🧡
You are so welcome!
Yes on the necklace and bracelet
Yay I'm excited to create them for you!
So I've settled on this for Christmas gifts this year...ty Stephanie for the redux. Beautiful design. Yes to bracelet and necklace tutorials. Thx for sharing all you do.
I'm so glad! Easy to stitch but look fancy. My pleasure to share the redux with you! Yup, other pieces are on the design board 😀💖
Stephanie, I can’t express how grateful I am for you and the projects that you share. You are truly an awesome instructor and your creations are stunning. I have made many of your projects and the results are just beautiful. You give me hope, confidence and enthusiasm for creating. I have JOY when beading❤️. The Dragon thread is smooth and as you stated “it’s good for bezels”. Still learning!🥰.
You are so welcome! I'm so glad you're enjoys the tutorials Alverta ❤️❤️🥰🙏
Such pretty earrings!! The Dragon Thread is an interesting concept. I’ll have to think about it.
I’d definitely love to see a video on making a bracelet and necklace to go with these earrings!
Thank you for sharing!! 💜
Thanks Sharon! The Dragon thread is very nice for bezels. I've used it for a few projects - so far so good!
@@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry That’s great to know!! 💜💜💜
Thanks for the dragon thread review. My first thought was that it would work beautifully in bead embroidery, where strength and the smaller diameter is desirable. I also now remember how beautiful these earrings are!
You're welcome Cheri 😀🌻
Yay! Excited to use the Dragon Thread and make these awesome earrings Stephanie has created.
Yay! Thank you!
Yes please for a bracelet and/or necklace set. This is a really pretty pattern. Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge! Sending hugs from Kentucky 💕
Great! Tivoli Rivoli coordinating piece coming up soon 😊
Thanks, Stephanie, for this redux of a lovely earring project, and for your honest opinion about the new Dragon thread. There was a sample spool included in the XL Box, but I have not tried it yet--guess it's time to get my "rear in gear" and give it a go. Bring on the bracelet and necklace-I'm willing to watch and eventually try anything you bring to us.
Stephanie, thanks so much for the redo video. I made these gorgeous earrings before and I’m going to make them again with my new “Dragon” thread. You are truly an awesome instructor!
You are so welcome!
Wow so beautiful thank you so much Stephanie.
You are so welcome
Beautiful Earrings Stephanie 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! 🤗
So cute! I hope to see a necklace. Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome 😊
Love these. I absolutely must make them.
Have fun!
Pendant type necklace💕 yes☺️☺️
Thank you! We'll see what comes from my beady brain 🤣😍🙏
Yes to bracelet and necklace! 🌹🌹
You got it!
I learned to bezel rivolis with your original video. 😃
That's awesome to hear 😀🙏😍
Hi Stephanie thanks for re doing your Tivoli earrings. I would call it a blast from the past! Can't wait to see a bracelet, I think that's a great idea of yours.
It certainly is a blast from the past Annette 😆
I love the way the earrings came out. But I agree with lots of the comments so far and would love to see a pendant, necklace and/or bracelet. Your videos are amazing. So easy to follow. I had to go back to 1 of your earlier ones to refresh my memory on how to do it (your pwat). So thank you.
Thank you so much Dian 😘🙏💖 I'd have to go back to my PWAT to refresh my memory LOL That is the hardest stitch!
Excellent review on the new Dragon Thread. Thank you so much ;)
Glad it was helpful!
Always love every video. I have dragon thread. So this is perfect to try my new thread. Thank you for all the comparisons.
Yes!! I made them and agree with you about the thread. I am going to buy some because I really like the way it bezels. Loved this tutorial. Would love a bracelet and necklace class.
@@debralaprade1 Sounds like we are beading sisters. Lol!
You’re most welcome 🙏 Thank you so much for your kind words Debra❤️
These are one of my favorite earrings so I’d love designs to go with!
Thank you Donna!
I am so excited to use Dragon Thread! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Yes A necklace and/or bracelet would be amazing! I want to do more bezels! Have only done 1 😱. Great little project. I sure hope I have some Crystals 🤞🏼in my stash.
Yay! Necklace/ bracelet/ ring are on my design board.
Love all your work.
Would love to see what you come up for a necklace
Thank you for being a great inspiration
Thank you so much 💖
these are just so very pretty and I have all of the materials on the list.😁😘
Wonderful!
Ohhh! I was looking for reviews of the dragon thread, but I ALSO need to make some Christmas earrings, and I think I have the supplies for this one. Thank you!!
Great I got a sample of the dragon thread in my box this month cannot wait to try it. Yes I think a full set would be great earrings necklace bracelet and even a ring. Thank you great tutorial as always.
I hope you like as much as I did! Full set of Tivoli Rivoli goodies on the design board!
Thank you Stephanie I appreciate your unbiased opinion of the Dragon Thread. I personally do not like Fireline and would not try Dragon thread as it is even thinner then the Fireline. I am a Wildfire thread person as I like the feel of the thickness and makes my pieces feel more substantial, but that is me. It does look like it works nicely for some things as you said. Love the earring and they are nice size and yet no heavy looking.
You are so welcome!
I bought the Dragon line and it's too soft for me. I have spools and spools of Fireline which I used for years, and then saw Allie at Potomac saying she uses the green Wildfire most of the time. So I tried it and I absolutely love it. I have two spools of the Dragon thread and will save those for fringes.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the fringe tip. That’s an excellent idea :)
My first beaded earring was your tivoli , it’s one of my favorite to ware. Thank you for sharing your talent!
Oh how nice to hear that Ninivel 😀💖🌻 You've been with me for a while! Thank you!
It’s a beautiful pattern I would diffidently do a bracelet and necklace because I love sets, I’m watching a lot of pattern made with the dragon thread and look strong 💪 and soft and light to work with and better price and use a lot of threads when bead so you save $$
Wonderful!
Beutifull work, definitely going look nice with the necklace and the brazalete, please make all set, God bless you.
Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful earrings thanks 👍
Most welcome 😊
Beautiful great tutorial
That thread looks really nice! I envy you your delicacy while handling your stones - I always have mine in a death grip while I do a bezel and end up with an indent in my thumb and a good hand cramp, lol. Beautiful earrings
Haha I still use the death grip on occasion! It's amazing how easy it becomes when you relax (so hared to do with a bezel) 😀🌻😆
I have been really intrigued by Dragon thread! Thank you for this… I am going to have to get a spool to try it out myself!
I'm a bit late watching this one. Thank you so much for the review on the dragon thread, I will give it a try 💗 The earrings are beautiful 😍
Preciosos. Bendigo tus manos. Gracias x enseñarnos. Un abrazo de Chile
Bracelet and necklace would be wonderful!!! Thank you for sharing!!!! As always, love your work and the Birthstone idea is great, Thank you!!!
You are so welcome!
Yours is the second review I've seen of the new Dragon Thread, and both were positive reviews. Perhaps it's worth trying, I'll have to give it a go. And--I love those earrings! Going to give them a go as well. Thank you, Stephanie!
You're welcome! I think you'll have fun with the earrings and the thread 😀
My dragon thread I used was 8.. it shredded and I had to redo my bezel with fireline
Thanks for the review Stephanie. I’ve been hearing about the dragon thread. Very helpful 🙏🏽❤️
You are so welcome!
Yes, a necklace please. 😁
Yes for sure!
Absolutely necklace and bracelet! I'm sure they will be gorgeous!
Great!
Loved the review and earrings. Yes please do another video for bracelets. Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
Thank you! Will do!
As always, I love it! I may have to see how it adapts to firepolished beads, as well.
Thank you Elizabeth! I'll be using it with firepolished as well. Looking forward to coopering notes 😀
I do hope you do a bracelet and pendant (perhaps a necklace/collar) in the Tivoli Rivoli pattern. The original was one of the first videos of yours I watched and I was instantly charmed. On the subject of thread, have you ever used One-G or Nozu Sonuku to bezel? Jean Power had recommended it for bezelling a 27mm round fancy stone that needed a very specific count and the One-G / Nozu Sonoku gave the bezel just enough stretch (I likened it to putting on a pair of Spankz). Not only do these threads create amazingly supple bezels but the thread has an unsung bonus property - they are extremely compressable, letting you get more passes through your beads with larger needles. I can go through a 15/0 5 times with a size ten needle without the least bit of strain, which makes doing stepped bezels and fully covered backs and decoration on a finished bezel so much easier. The thread doesn't fray BUT it splits very easily and that can be frustrating. It's definitely not great for structural work and it's slippery, so if you're a beader who likes to knot, this isn't a good choice (it doesn't kink either, so maybe that's a bonus).
Aww thank you Lita! Tivoli Rivoli bracelet and necklace will be coming up in future videos. I have used both One-G and Nozue Sonoko. I use Nozue Sonoko mostly for bangles as the stretch allows for a good fit over the hand. I love your Spanx reference 🤣 This new Dragon Thread bezels very well. No stretch but thin enough to get the needle through the beads several times and the suppleness makes the bezel curve beautifully. It'a a nice addition to the thread repertoire.
Absolutely a bracelet and necklace too! Beautiful earrings. 💕💕💕 Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹 🎃👻🍬🍭👻🎃
You are so welcome
Thank you for another amazing A+++++ tutorial. My order for Dagon thread came in yesterday. I can’t wait to try using it.
Your very welcome!
Yay! Just seen this!
I hope you do a redux for the Tivoli 'ring' next! Lol...I finally got the bezel figured out!...But I'm having such trouble connecting the band on the Tivoli 'ring'...
Also....
You are one of my faves, I've learned so much from your tutorials! Thanks for all you do, for all of us other beader's!
You're an amazing beadwork artist!!!😍😁
Yes, I will add the ring on. My very confusing teaching at the time is causing you problems! The redo will be much better!
Nice earrings that look like a easy fun project. My ears are not pierced, and I am almost 58 years of age, so a bracelet and necklace tutorial would be great! Ha ha! :)
Wonderful!
I always love your videos and I appreciate your review of the dragon thread. I’m going to try this with the sample that was in the best bead box. Thanks again Stephanie!
You are so welcome!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your kind support Olga 🌻💖🙏
@@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry your so very welcome😘
Please make the bracelet and necklace, I just received my shipment of rivolis and was looking for something beautiful to make! This is a gorgeous design!
Will do!!
Absolutely bracelet!
Yay!!! I'm excited!
Necklace and Bracelet would be great!
Yay!!!
Zo leuk om te doen ik.
Thank you for your review of Dragon Thread. Very new beader here, and still trying to get the hang of bezelling...so far, no go. But it's very exciting to see a new thread that sounds so promising come on the market, and to see it get such a positive review from someone as experienced as yourself is wonderful. I would love to see a necklace and bracelet in the Trivoli Rivoli pattern, if only because I love saying the name! Pardon my silliness, they are beautiful and definitely on my list...IF I ever master the beaded bezel. *sigh*. Thank you again.
You're very welcome Wendy! Don't give up on your bezeling. It takes a ton of practice and then when you least expect it, you've done it. Really, somehow it just works that way LOL If you decide to try again, DM a picture of where you get stuck to Bronzepony Facebook page and I'll help you through 😀🙏🌻
@@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry thank you for this very generous offer. I will.🙂
When I was learning to bezel my problem was that while I was adding the second (third, really) row of Delicas I was somehow twisting my thread inside the starting ring. So that caused my ring to go all wonky instead of staying nice and round. Make sure you're putting your needle in on the outside of the beads, not the middle so you don't catch (go under) the thread already going through the beads. Hopefully this makes sense. Once I learned where I was going wrong it clicked and no more problems. Good luck! 💗
Thank you so much for another wonderful video, Stephanie! I've been watching you for years, I love your channel! 💕
Awesome thanks
Welcome 😊
Υπεροχα ,τελεια ! Σας ευχαριστουμε πολυ !🌹
You're most welcome 🌺
Show do you this thread would work with tassels. Will the tassels be flowing? Loving this new thread!
Yes, absolutely
about thread in bezelling you don't tell of miyuki or one-g, they are traditionally used by beaders in whole world in this specific case. I use fireline like you do☺😘❤
I used regular beading thread years ago but Fireline is easier to handle for me. I still keep the other brand thread on hand though 😊
Очень красиво 🌞🌞🌞
When you use Fireline, which dark color do you use that doesn't leave your hands black? I heard you say it once but can't remember. Thank you for all you do for us out here in the beading world. Even my puppy knows your voice now since I watch your videos at night before going to sleep! It calms us both.
Awww so sweet! Thank you 😀 I use Firline Black Satin.
Thank you for the thread review. I'm always up to hear more about thread. Also love Crystals too. Got a square pair I want to try like this.
One thought . ....when will they start making the holes LARGER?? especially with ladder stitch, the thread has to go thru at least 3 times on some beads, then later on if you add beads. I am so sick and tired of planning a project only to have beads with irregular holes, and smaller holes than neccessary. Surely I'm not the only one that has an issue with small hole beads?? Even the Czech beads holes are irregular.
You're welcome Zilren 😀 I find the Japanese seed beads to be pretty regular in hole diameter. Try a thinner thread for the smaller holes so you can make more passes through he beads. Nozue Sonoko thread or this new Dragon Thread. One G is also thinner.
@@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry tysm. I hadn't realized the huge difference btw wildfire/fireline. I just got thinner Fireline and it's made a huge difference. Tysm. Love your tutorials. 💕
I get so excited when I see you’ve made a video!! I will use my sample to make some as well. I’d love to see a necklace! Ordered the micro spacers, but they haven’t arrived yet. Best teacher on UA-cam!! Lots of hugs! What about using DT to bezel a cameo??
aww you're such a sweetheart my dear Sylvia! Thank you so much for your kindness and support. Yes, a cameo needs to be done for sure!
Muy hermosos. Cómo siempre gracias por enseñarnos
Danke!
Thank you so much sweetie!!! So nice to see you 🥰🙏😍
Such beauty❣🤗🙏
Thank you!
I am wondering if there is a calculation for the bezel. I have 12mm Rivolis, and would love to try this, but need to figure out, how many to start with. any and all suggestions would be great. Thank you and love sent to you, for I am a huge fan and love your tutorials!!!
Thank you 🙏 You would start with 30 Delicas for a 12mm Rivoli. However, the embellishment around the Rivoli will be different. You’ll just have to play with the bicones and 11/0’s for a good fit.
I have used Dragon thread several times & I have decided I don't like it. It frays on the ends & it splits very easily. If I make a mistake & have to take my thread out it frays & splits & then knots up. I have not been beading very long but long enough. Maybe for more experienced beaders it would be fine but for me its a no go. Unfortunately I bought some so maybe some day I will try agin when I have been beading for more than 3 years. I think my 3 years experience is not long enough
Try waxing your Dragon thread. It definitely helps. It is a bit fussy but I do like it for tight bezels. Fireline 6 lb is my go to but I keep Dragon thread in my stash as well😃
Lovely 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
Thanks 🤗
do you think the dragon thread will be good for bead embroidery?
I would definitely try it for Bead Embroidery. I haven't used it very long so I can't attest to its strength over time but I am going to try it on my next embroidery project.
First ring I ever made was the rivoli tivoli☺️☺️ love it still. Curious about this thread. And I’m still organizing my new room!! Almost done💪🏼😂😂🌻🌻☕️☕️
Wonderful!
I love that green ,and thank you for reviewing the new thread ,I was wondering how well it performed , Have you tried the Miyuki threads ?
Me too! My favorite color. I haven't tried the Miyuki thread yet. I'll get some next time I place a bead order (which could be at any moment LOL)
@@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry ah lovely , I would love to have your opinion on that one too , green is one of my favourite colours . I do love your colour choices as well as all your fabulous tutorials from which I have learned so much . 🙏 very grateful for all that I have learned and all the inspiration , I really look forward to getting those alerts that tell me you have a new video for me to watch x Happy beading 😁🙏❤️
Hello Stephanie, i ask which camera you use and which lamp?
Those are one of my favorite earrings you've designed. Can you tell us what it costs in relation to Wildfire and Fireline? Thanks for the re-do video.
Thank you so much Dannette 🙏The clip after the intro goes into the cost comparison to the other threads 😀
I make a lot of brick stitch and dangling fringe earrings with delica beads. I would like to know if this thread would work good with that. Also if I should get the white color instead of black.
I think it would be perfect for dangling beads as it is soft and supple. I generally use black or dark colors which recede into the background of a piece. Unless of course it’s a transparent bead.
Hi Stephanie! Can I ask you the name of the color (11/0) on the ring you are wearing on this video? I love matte metallics!
I believe it is Miyuki Metallic Tarnish 11-2091
should i use te smaller siza?
What make of wire cutters do you use for cutting your threads? All my scissors have lost their sharpness and won’t cut my thread unless I cut 5 or 6 times! It’s frustrating!
Mine are part of a set I purchased years ago. I like Beadsmith wire cutters as well. amzn.to/3nv4b7T
Hi Stephanie ... thanks for the review and tutorial on these beautiful earrings! I'm trying to order the Dragon Thread from Potomac and use your coupon code, but it's not working. Did it have a one week only expiration? Thanks
Hi Debbe - The coupon code just expired! You can use the link I put in the description box to Potomac’s website.
@@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry
🙆🏼♀️ aww, daggumit!! 🤦🏼♀️ Yes, I did use your link to get to Potomac and I put the Dragon Thread in my cart. It’s just the coupon code isn’t working 😩😅 I have a 50 meter white Dragon Thread from a friend and I made one of your Tivoli Rivoli earrings (I’ll post it on your FB page.) I was hoping to purchase the green and the white 250 meter spools! 😍 I do like the Dragon Thread 🪡 🧵 for bezeling!!
Stephanie, can you tell approximately what pound weight the Dragonthread is?
Beading thread doesn't give pound weight. Fireline does because it was originally a fishing line so 8lb. is the weight it holds I guess when catching a fish? Most beading thread goes by diameter 😃 Were just used to referring to Fireline's pound weight but its not actually relevant in beading thread.
I only had 12 mm raviolis What is your recommended amount to start beads for 12 mm
I start with 30 11/0 delicas for a 12mm rivoli. however, the embellishment (bicone and 11/0 combination) around the 12mm will change from the original 14mm rivoli.
HELP!!!!! I am so frustrated. I am making my 13th and 14th earring in several colors, I am working on a Capri Blue set. both of them are not staying in the bezel! what am I doing wrong. I noticed that you are using 8 pound line. I am using Fireline 6 lb., could that be the problem? I did have a problem with a few others but if the rivoli pops out when the bezel is done I don't know what to do. any ideas? Thanks Stephanie, I love your videos and really want to continue beadweaving, This one has me stumped. I have rewatched the video to make sure I am using the correct size beads. So, I am wondering if I need to use the 8lb Fireline. Thank you in advance for your response.... Rosemary in Hawaii
You have made 12 and they are fine? If that’s the case then maybe it’s just your tension or the stones are a little different? Are you using Miyuki ? If you’ve done so many and they came out good then I’m stumped! You can send a few pictures to Bronzepony Facebook page and I’ll see if I can help. 8 lb Fireline might help or try Wildfire.
@@BronzeponyBeadedJewelryThanks for tge instant response, Stephanie, I so appreciate it. I am trying 8lb now and will let you know. Some of the others were looser than I thought they should be and others would almost snap in place imediately. I did had to undo some stitching and redo, could that of stretched the thread? I will get back to you which you will probably not get until tomorrow since your on the east coast. Thank you again!
I think I just found the problem. I thought Delicas were all 11/0. I am glad I keep the description with the product like you do. I just read the container and the colored Delicas I was using are 15/0. I kept thinking it was almost that the bezel was too small and the Rivoli couldn't sit in it properly, that's when I thought to check the description. So pulling everything apart, again and taking a break. Maybe try later.
A bit of an update, after my previous post I corrected delica size, and yes I am using Miyuki beads. The Rivoli fit better but still moving way more than any other ones. For the sake of my sanity, I gave up on the current one I was having trouble with and made a different color one and it was fine. I believe it's the Rivoli itself. The back wasn't foiled it was painted blue (front color was Caori blue) and after looking at the edge, it appeared a bit more rounded than the other foiled back ones. I either bought it at Fire Mountain or Potmac beads, awhile ago and I did not transfer label to the actual storage bag.
I also watched 2 other Rivoli earring videos you did. One where you mentioned you sometimes have to play with the fitting of the Rivoli as you do the two rounds of the 15/0's, which was very helpful to me. Thanks so much, Stephanie! Keep posting your beautiful videos.
😍😍🤩🤩👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
👌👌👌🌹👍❤❤
!!! +++❤❤❤
I haven't had Rivolis to do any of these type projects until I found an old antique looking flower necklace in my stash, found at a thrift store, so I took it apart. I think I'll try this simple pattern an then connect them for a bracelet...they're a pretty apricot color!
I love repurposing old jewelry! I bet its beautiful!
