Here is a copy of an email I got from a swarovski supplier I ordered couple of times from:
Announcing New Xilion Cut Bicones
Finally! The incredible Xilion cut will be applied to bicones. Only Swarovski can make this magic happen. The 5301 bicone will receive a new item number, #5328. We have been assured the new Xilion cut and the 5301 bicones will live harmoniously side-by-side in all of your designs. Many of you will recall the Xilion cut being applied to Swarovski Crystal Rhinestones. You might be able to see a tiny difference since you are experts at working with CRYSTALLIZED - Swarovski Elements but most will not notice the change. Beginning June 2, the new 5328 will start shipping to replace existing stock. The changeover will take time and as of October 2009, 5301 will only be shipped by special request if stock is available.
Now is your chance to stock up on the 5301 for your future creations. We are offering our existing stock at the unbelievable discount of 30% off only in our eBay store. Shop early for the best selection!
If I understand it correctly, then the 5301 bicones will disappear to be replaced with 5328. Let's hope the colors stay the same.
Personally I won't run to order bicones...but if you are planning to kit up any of your Chatelaines you might give the bicones a quick go.
