Preciosa Ornela Pips 1/2 Graphite Aurora Borealis Finish 5X7mm Loose

Preciosa Ornela pressed glass Pip beads in a half-graphite base with AB finish, 5x7mm, sold in a set of 75 — a reliable count of a shape that layers beautifully in multi-strand and surface-embellishment work.

The half-graphite base reads as a moody, dark neutral while the AB overcoat throws a strong oil-slick color play across the surface — shifting greens, blues, and purples depending on the light hitting it.

What to make with them

Pip beads sit flat and stack neatly, making them a go-to for peyote and brick stitch surface work, herringbone ropes, and layered fringe where you want a petal-like silhouette; the graphite-AB combination works especially well in Gothic, Victorian, or mermaid-inspired pieces where dark drama and iridescence share the same design.
