Swarovski 2304 Raindrop

Tooth gem Swarovski 2304 Raindrop — the crystalline water drop

The Raindrop Swarovski 2304 is the most iconic water-drop shape in the Swarovski tooth gem catalog. Its asymmetric silhouette — fine point at the top, rounded base at the bottom — creates a « tear of light » effect that no round or oval shape can reproduce.

Swarovski 2304 technical specs

  • Dimensions: 6 × 3.6 mm (signature tooth gem size)
  • Shape: asymmetric water drop, tapered point and rounded base
  • Application: lateral placement recommended, point oriented towards the gum or downward depending on desired effect

Why this shape?

The Raindrop is the favorite shape of tooth gem artists who want to step away from the round without going full statement. It catches the eye through asymmetry while remaining instantly readable: everyone recognizes a teardrop, unlike more abstract shapes like the Connector.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Raindrop suitable for beginners?

No. The teardrop shape is asymmetrical (point + base) — orientation is critical. Reserved for technicians who have already done at least 30-50 applications of simple shapes (round, marquise).

Point up or down?

Stylistic question: point toward gum = "flowing tear" effect (more dramatic), point toward free edge = "falling tear" effect (more joyful). To discuss with the client before application.

For which clientele is the Raindrop ideal?

Brides, pro photoshoots, premium events, artistic clientele. Strong symbolism (tear = emotion, drop = purity). Not suitable for daily discreet wear.

Does it hold as well as a round stone?

Yes if application is correct. Additional difficulty: the point can detach faster if composite is not well distributed. Recommended: slightly over-dose composite at the point.

Raindrop availability?

Rare shape in limited stock. Ships within 24h from France stock, but recommended to reserve in advance if application is scheduled for an event.
