Desparate for 4mm AB Swarovski bicones.........

Oct 20, 2003 17 Replies

Ok, it's not really life or death, but I would like to finish a project. I need some 4mm bicones with the AB finish. I need:



12 Blue Zircon with the AB finish 10 Light Emerald with the AB finish

I'm looking into a bulk buy, which may be too complicated for my little brain to figure out, and if I do, I'm sure it will take forever to get them, but I just want a few to get me through. If anyone has them, I'd be willing to buy or trade some lampwork for them! I checed ebay and couldn't find any.



Thanks, Jerri

I wish I could send you some, I just ordered blue zircon but not AB finish.

Here's an auction for the Blue Zircon AB.

I didn't get any hits for light emerald AB but check these and compare to what you have.

This site appears to have the blue zircon AB at a good price:

Oops - I did not realize that they are located in Hong Kong (though the $ amount of the shipping charge is not high). Also, they are also selling on eBay with little feedback (I guess they are a new seller) if that matters to you.

fast shipping and decent prices

Jerri, if I had them I would send them out to you in a heartbeat. Sorry!

Thanks Margie,

I couldn't get the picture to come up, but those look like what I want. I'll check again later. I didn't see these when I searched, but I guess because I put in "bicones". Teach me to think about how to search!

You're welcome. Searching on eBay leaves something to be desired in my opinion because there's not a standard to follow except for categories.

It looks like Art Gems has a lot of unusual colors. Including those strange satins I have come to love.

And stores can't be searched through eBay. That one makes no sense.

I've put Letrinka in my favorites, Sooz.

They sell by the dozen and the prices are reasonable. I've ordered from them (online) recently and got my order within a few days. You can also try

The only problem is she only sells by the gross - but her prices are terrific! Don't know about wholesale - but this will at least get you through.

I have a few of this color and a few of that but none of those two. Sorry

You know, Jerri, I'm embarrassed to say this, but I don't even have ONE Swarovski Crystal. Never have! it's on the list of things I'm going to get one day, but I never have yet.

I'm finding that what I like best about them is the unusual colors they come in. I can get blue and aqua and red and emerald in less expensive alternatives. But it's the Jonquil satin for the boro that's a pale ale color I can't get other places. And Chrysolite satin the works so well with the yellow blue boro beads. Erinite which is just a little bluer and darker. Those odd colors add to the optical quality by bringing in light, without fighting with the focus for attention.
