teardrop Explanation: I'm not a jewellery expert, but I have certainly heard of this shape in connection with beads. In addition, I see that Swarovski do sell teardrop crystal beads. I don't know if the attached web reference is helpful. https://www.beadsdirect.co.uk/further-information/bead-types |

bicone Explanation: Have a look at both the FR and EN versions of these website pages: https://tinyurl.com/y25h2cwb https://tinyurl.com/yx8pa3nc https://tinyurl.com/y5x6vqve These are just a few examples. There are more available, and all the ones I've checked list the product as 'bicone'. The first one, for instance, Toupies en cristal Swarovski Swarovski Crystal Bicones -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 56 mins (2019-03-05 10:47:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Of course, you may also call these bicone beads, as in here https://tinyurl.com/yxhyaptv (Swarovski Crystal Bicone Beads) This is not the case, as the term appears to be 'generic' in your text, but just to confirm the term (albeit hyphenated), here's a sample taken from Swarovski's professional website. In it, this bead is described as XILION Bi-Cone Pendant https://tinyurl.com/y6jg6qtb -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 56 mins (2019-03-05 10:48:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Thanks, Alison |
