These Preciosa Ornela pressed glass spike drops measure 5x13mm and come 50 pieces to a pack — a pointed, architectural shape that commands attention in any design. The apricot base gives you a warm citrus foundation that plays beautifully with the iridescent overcoat layered on top.
The AB finish lays a shifting, oil-slick iris over the apricot glass, producing strong color play that moves from warm orange into cooler spectral tones depending on the light.
