Replacing g2 eye crystals

[StayGoldPonyboy]

So I’ve heard that people use swarovski cystals to replace g2 eyes, as they have exact color matches. I think peridot is the one for green? I want to replace my sky skimmer’s missing crystal but while I’m pretty sure I know the color to use, I’m looking up crystals and theres like 500 different shapes with names that don’t really tell me anything D: What shape am I supposed to use?

Most people use the flat backs because they are easier to find, though the shape for the G2 eyes has a pointed back.

This is basically what you are looking for (courtesy of Artbeads)

As for size I have no clue these days as it's been a while since i looked at G2 eye gems, and the two styles of gems have two different sizing systems :/

The one with a pointy back is usually called a chaton

The size you're looking for is SS12 or PP18.

I also replaced my G2 ponies' missing gems, but I'm not sure that new ones are Swarovski. I found them in an arts&crafts shop.
