Preciosa Ornela Pips California Silver 5X7mm

These Preciosa Ornela pressed glass pips from Bohemia come 50 pieces to a pack in a 5x7mm oval silhouette — a compact, slightly pointed shape that layers beautifully and moves well on a strand. The California Silver colorway puts them squarely in grey-and-black territory with a coated finish that shifts the surface beyond plain metallic.

The coated finish sits over the glass to alter its color, sheen, or texture — expect a surface that reads as cool, industrial silver rather than a straightforward mirror shine, with some variation in how the light catches it.

What to make with them

Their pip shape makes them naturals for stringing in graduated necklaces, drop earrings, or as spacer accents between larger focal beads — and because they're pressed glass with a medium-low durability coating, they're best suited to finished jewelry that won't see heavy daily abrasion, like statement earrings or display pieces with Art Deco or Gothic framing.

The finish on these beads is delicate. Avoid prolonged exposure to friction, moisture, skin acids, and harsh chemicals to preserve the surface coating.
