Beaded Bezeled Shell

I had been wanting to make my own bezel piece for a gem or something for years.  Well, I finally decided to make one to go around a 2 1/4" round shell piece that I got many years ago.  Below are pictures of the finished piece using seed beads acquired from different places over the years.  I adapted the design from the June 2009 issue of www.beadandbutton.com., Eye of the Twister, in which a peyote stitch bezel was made for a Rivoli piece. On the left is the finished piece and on the right is a sample of the shell before.  Let me know what you think.

  As soon as I have the necklace completed I will post that as well for all to see.  THANKS!
