Preciosa Ornela pressed glass pips in transparent medium amethyst — 100 pieces of that classic elongated pip shape in a rich purple that's been a Czech glass staple for good reason. At 5x7mm, they're a versatile mid-size that works hard without overwhelming a design.
The transparent finish lets light pass cleanly through the glass, so your stringing material and any layered beads beneath show right through — depth comes from the amethyst tone itself, not a coating.
Pip beads lend themselves naturally to right-angle weave and peyote variations where their curved profile fills space beautifully; they're equally at home strung in graduated drops for earrings or clustered as floral centers in bead embroidery.
