Preciosa Ornela Pips Metallic Full Coated Silver 5X7mm

These Preciosa Ornela pressed glass pip beads come in a 60-piece pack and wear a full metallic silver coat that makes each 5x7mm piece look like it was cast from solid metal. If you want a bead that reads as hardware rather than jewelry finding, this is it.

The full-coat metallic finish is completely opaque with a smooth, plated-metal appearance — cool silver tones that sit firmly in the grey-and-black family and hold their look as long as you keep them away from abrasives and harsh chemicals.

What to make with them

Pip beads' curved, lens-like shape tiles beautifully in flat peyote or ndebele herringbone, so a silver metallic run of them makes a striking industrial-edge cuff or collar. They're equally at home strung as drop earrings or woven into a bead-embroidered brooch where that metal-like surface catches light the way a rivet would.
