Preciosa Ornela Thorn Sfinx 5x16mm Top Hole

Preciosa Ornela's Thorn Sfinx is a 5x16mm pressed glass spike with a top-drilled hole, giving you 30 pieces of sharp, architectural drama in the grey-and-black family. The elongated thorn silhouette and top placement make it a natural focal element or fringe component rather than a background bead.

The Sfinx finish works into the opaque glass to deepen the color while adding a subtle mirrored quality beneath the surface — moody and dimensional without being flashy.

What to make with them

String these vertically as a fringe on a loom-woven cuff or collar necklace for a gothic or Victorian-inspired drape, or wire-wrap individual thorns as earring drops where the top hole lets them hang with a clean, deliberate swing. Because the Sfinx surface is delicate, keep them away from friction against other beads and skip any chemical finishes or sealants in your process.

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