Swarovski 5328 4mm XILION Bicone Crystal AB

This 4mm XILION bicone from SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS is made from clear crystal cut with 12 upgraded facets for maximum sparkle and brilliance. This lovely Austrian crystal bead also features an iridescent finish that adds a touch of color. Beads this size work well as spacers or mixed with other beads to create delicate strands. This item replaces our previous 5301-CRYSAB4 faceted bicone. You can use this lovely bead in your next design or browse for other colors, sizes and shapes in our selection of SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS crystal beads.

Pros: Size, Price, Versatile, Unique, Ease of Use, Quality, Color
Other beading styles or techniques: beaded bags
Creation: a chocker with a hanging snowflake.
"I love to knit and crochet with beads and these beads are exceptional. The holes are large enough for the thread or yarn to go through and there is no roughness inside the beads to weaken the thread. Crystals are my second love after diamonds and their brilliance is second only to diamonds."

Pictures Don't Do This Justice
Date:December 29, 2011
Pros: Size, Price, Versatile, Ease of Use, Quality, Color
Cons: requires strong thread
Other beading styles or techniques: French Beaded Flowers
Creation: child's bracelet
"The brilliance of the XILION Bicone Crystal AB is incredible; far greater than pictures can convey. I made a child's bracelet with these. The 4mm size was delicate looking while still having just enough substance to be noticeable. Bicone crystals lend their shape perfectly to designs using RAW, also known as Right Angle Weave. I would highly recommend this product. The only drawback is the need for a strong thread, as crystals are known to cause frays in weaker threads."
