... a column about columns. Well, maybe half a column. ;-)
(What is a half a column? A short pillar? Maybe a stump? Anyway ... )
New on the scene from Swarovski this season are these rectangular,
faceted beads called "Columns." They come in 3 sizes (so
far), and in two different hole configurations - one with a single hole across
the middle, and the other with two holes - also from side to side, but
nearer
to the ends.
So how would you use these? Like a two-hole crystal connector?
Or in a necklace, with staggered rows of crystals?
You can find both of these new shapes on this page:
Another colour (well - a mix of colours, actually) in the Twins.
I should explain here that there are two very similar beads that
are small, oval beads with two holes in them. We have both the Twins and
the Superduos. The difference is the Superduos are more exactingly made,
and a little more substantial - they are a little heavier. And, as such,
a little more expensive than their plainer cousins - the Twins. If you think
that is confusing - well, you are in good company. ;-)
