Hi Stacey -

    If you are referring to teardrop-shaped stones that have a
    horizontal hole, those are called briolettes, and there's a good
    tutorial on wire wrapping them here, plus you can buy the tools
    online:

    If you are referring to teardrop-shaped stones that have a vertical
    hole like any other bead, then basic wire-wrapping applies.  A book
    that I particularly like for this information is All Wired Up by
    Mark Lareau.  Here's a link to a page about it at amazon.com:
