Two tutorial combo for a discounted price: the first lesson is the Net Bezel Pendant, which shows how to trap a cabochon in a netted bezel, creating a fabulously elegant pendant. The technique is so versatile it can be adapted to range from simple and elegant to heavily ornate.

The second lesson is the Border for Net Bezel and shows how to make a decorative border around the first pendant. Although this lesson focuses on creating very organic results by using beads of different shapes and sizes, the technique can also produce very structured and ornamental results.
