*NOTE: Beginning in 2009, Swarovski is replacing their 5301 faceted bicone crystal style with their new 5328 faceted XILION bicone bead. Either style of bicone works well for this design.
Tools and supplies: cutters, round-nose pliers, chain-nose pliers, adhesive such as E-6000 (#60-265)
TIPS:
* Create crystal and pearl connectors using 26-gauge wire (#64-320), or snip off the heads of the head pins to make wrapped loops on each end.
* Use E-6000 to glue a rivoli pendant inside martini glass charm.
