Need a Technical term, if there is one
I'm labeling jewelry, and one of the glass pieces is straight-sided, round, with rounded ends - about 1/2" long. Now I know that a teardrop is a teardrop, and a square is a square, and more - but is there a technical term for this shape? It's not hollow, it's a bead - there's a small hole the long way down the bead. Any thoughts? Any thoughts that aren't rude? Pictures later in the week!
Oh, parking meter inspectors, does that sound strange.......
Could go with capsule, people would understand the shape that represents.
