I've incorporated these little gems into this year's beaded snowflake designs, and they're real little workhorses! They're the perfect shape to lend some interest to a snowflake design, their utility changing depending on whether I use larger or smaller beads than the bead caps, which direction on the snowflake leg I place it, and of course, its location along the leg itself.
These are AB, but not overwhelming like a lot of AB glass. Just shimmery enough to work as an ice crystal. Will probably buy a lot more because they are so versatile.
