I was given a pretty necklace and earring set, and receive comments on it ... but I can't find beads that are like this. The beads are pretty and sparkly enough to be crystal, but I have searched the major crystal manufacturers and can't match the shape. If they are glass, they are an excellent quality. They measure approx 5mm in width and 18mm long with a top hole. Can anyone help me identify them or know of a supplier? Many thanks!

 Any chance of a bigger picture?

look up Swarovski item 6460

 Okay try again with a bigger picture ...

Hole in the top, not cross drilled. I looked at the Swarovski ... close enough to play with, lol. They seem a little difficult to get ... my usual suppliers don't carry them, but I am more than happy to search now that I have a lead. Thanks for your help.

These might work ... mmmm, need a small glue on bail but hey, that'll still work, yes? Yes!

Many thanks
