bicone

Two cones joined

A bicone is a three-dimensional shape formed by joining two cones at their bases, creating a form that tapers to points at both ends—like a spinning top mirrored on itself.

The term appears most often in beadwork and jewelry, where bicone beads are prized for their faceted surfaces that catch light: a strand of crystal bicones.
