Swarovski has just launched their new Bicone beads (5328) range which is an upgrade from their very popular bicone 5301 range. This new range uses the patented XILION cut which features increased number of alternating large and small facets which results in even more brilliance and greater light reflection.
Because of the logistics of replacing 1000's of size and color combinations, Swarovski has advised that we will only be sent the new 5328 only if they do not have the 5301 in stock. BeadCharm will add the new 5328 beads as and when we receive them from Swarovski. The new 5328 will be in the Swarovski Bicone category but marked as Swarovski Bicone 5328 Beads. Please be patient while we do our best to make this transition as painless as possible.
Will 5301 & 5328 work together?
For most applications, the 5301 and 5328 XILION Bead can be combined, as their dimensions and geometry are complimentary.
Swarovski will be discontinuing the 5301 range so if you are a fan of them, now is the time to stock up.
