BRING ON MORE BLING!

As one of my exciting opportunities as an official Swarovski Ambassador, I was asked to do some product testing on the new 5328 bicone awhile ago. I LOVED the new product and know you will too! Here's the 411:
Swarovski Elements introduces the new 5328 Xilion® bicone bead, which will be replacing the discontinued 5301 bicone bead. The 5301 and 5328 bicone beads are designed to be used interchangeably, as their dimensions and geometry are complimentary. Swarovski® will transition one color at a time as their supply runs low. During this transition period, if the 5301 bicone is not available, the new 5328 Xilion® bicone will ship in its place. CRYSTALLIZED™ - Swarovski Elements XILION® Bicone Bead -- Article No. 5328 Resembling the flash of a diamond, the revolutionary 5328 Xilion® bicone bead offers:
Unique Xilion brilliance
Increased number of facets
Alternating large and small facets
Higher brilliance and intense light reflection
Slightly rounder girdle for added comfort in wearabilityIn addition, this cut is differentiated from all other products on the market and is copyright protected.
