Jaba did you just buy a stilletto and add beads to it? My friend bought something similiar at a quilt shop. It was for doing needle turn applique. It was used to turn under the edge of the fabric. I was going to make one, but couldn't find anything metal, pointy, and short enough to decorate for an applique tool. The one my friend bought at a quilt shop was probably 4 inch in lenght. How long are the stillettos you make? They are very pretty.
