Briolette style drops are very versatile - their name can imply several shapes. The briolettes I have are the teardrop variety, which are usually seen in two shapes: a straight-edged teardrop, and a rounder teardrop. These are both top-drilled, meaning that instead of being drilled down the center, they are drilled across the top.
Other briolette styles include flat, baroque, and flat teardrop. These styles are also often found in chandelier lighting designs.


I have several sizes, though there are two "types" I have listed. The ones at the top are often called Teardrop Briolettes, and they are the typical straight-edged briolettes, while the Mini briolettes are very tiny and are miniature verstions of the rounder briolette drops.
