SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS has introduced an updated version of their faceted bicone crystal. The new XILION cut has 12 upgraded facets for added sparkle and brilliance. This patented cut is beyond measure and just has to be seen to be truly appreciated. Its beautiful AB finish will make your designs pop with gorgeous elegance. This item replaces our previous 5301-CRYSAB3 faceted bicone.

"Great little crystal has so many uses. Love to use it with all kinds of beads to give that extra little sparkle where you need it. I like to alternate it with pearls or larger crystals. I have made necklaces and bracelets with it, but especially childrens bracelets."

Very nice but AB bicone is better
Date:June 4, 2010
Pros: Quality, Ease of Use
Cons: Price, Color
Other beading styles or techniques: stringing, bead art and wire wrap
Creation: Prom jewelry
"I really love AB crystals better than Xilion because they are shinier and give more of a sparkle even though you would assume that because the xilion has more facets that it would shine more. It appears darker than the AB and from now on I will only use them when working with colored crystals. They really look great against pearls and other light shades."

Thank you for your review. The term "Xilion" indicates the cut of the bead. These are the Crystal AB color in the Xilion cut.

"I don't like the Xilion. It doesn't have the color like the Crystal AB2. Very disappointed that they replaced it with Xilion."
