This 3mm XILION bicone in purple velvet is dark enough to stand out in your designs in spite of its dainty size. Mix it with jewel tones as a spacer bead for a royal look or try it with pastels to create a fun pair of earrings. The 3mm bicone is the smallest bicone bead to offer the XILION cut. The SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS style 5301 faceted bicones are being replaced with the innovative XILION cut, which features twelve upgraded facets for added sparkle. This bead makes an excellent accent in seed bead embroidery and weaving projects. Now known as the 5328 XILION cut bicone, the new design is sure to be a fabulous addition to your designs. This item replaces our previous 5301-PURV3 faceted bicone.
