Hi guys,

Can anyone suggest a good size and shape beadcap for a 6mm swarovski bicone?. Is it even advisable to use a beadcap with a non rounded bead? Should I just stick to a daisy spacer or something similar? I'm making a bracelet with 4mm and 6mm swarovski's and felt like it needed a bit of jazzing up to avoid it looking too plain.

Any ideas would be great. It's a customer order for Mother's Day so don't be shy in getting back to me asap :)

Hi Kirsty,

(and hi forum :-)

I'm a bit of a lurker and not allowed to post links yet apparently, but your post reminded me of a useful video I watched - If you search for "Bead Cap Basics Video" in Google the first result is a great video on this topc!
