If you’ve been watching my jewelry videos for any time now, you’ve probably noticed that I love to use bicone beads. There’s just something about that different shape, especially the diamond shaped profile, that really draws me in.
When I first got into beading I was utterly amazed to discover that beads came in shapes other than round! The cubes especially entranced me.
The one subject I get the most questions on is that of bicone beads. So I put together this little video for you just explaining what they are and how they are used. I even found an interesting alternate name for them.Here are some of my favorite bicones:
- 4mm Clear Swarovski Bicone Beads
- 6mm Clear Swarovski Bicone Beads
- Swarovski Bicone Crystal, Fuchsia Mix, 6mm
- Swarovski 6mm Crystal Bicone Beads, Green & Teal Mix
- Swarovski Crystal Bicone 6mm, Blue Zircon
Enjoy the video and happy creating!
You can watch the Friday Findings-Bicone Beads video over at YouTube.
Interesting! I like the dark ones for some reason–maybe because they provide contrast to the brights and the gold.
🙂 I love them all!
