Item Name: Small Stubby Bicones SKU: CGB-BR-33 Description: Small Stubby Bicones are specialized mandrel-shaped molds designed for beadmakers and lampworkers who want to create compact, symmetrical bicone-shaped beads. These molds feature a series of cavity sizes ranging from 11x8mm to 17x14mm, allowing artisans to produce bicones of varying dimensions in a single session. The stubby design creates shorter, more compact beads compared to standard bicone molds, making them ideal for jewelry applications where proportion and balance are critical. Bicones are fundamental shapes in beadmaking, commonly used as spacer beads, accent beads in strands, or as primary focal elements in jewelry designs. The mold construction ensures even heat distribution during the bead-making process, resulting in consistent, professional-quality beads with symmetrical pointed ends. How it is used: Heat your glass rod or frit in the flame until it reaches a workable temperature Press the heated glass into the appropriate cavity size on the mold Rotate and shape the glass to fill the cavity evenly Allow the bead to cool slightly before removing it from the mold Anneal the finished bead in a kiln to relieve internal stress and ensure durability Dimensions: Cavity sizes available: 11mm x 8mm 12mm x 9mm 13mm x 10mm 14mm x 11mm 15mm x 12mm 16mm x 13mm 17mm x 14mm
