Preciosa Ornela Thorn Shiny Silver 5x16mm Top Hole

Preciosa Ornela's pressed Czech glass Thorn beads give you 30 pieces of that sharp, elongated 5x16mm silhouette with a top hole — a shape that commands attention in any layout. The shiny silver metallic finish makes each one read like plated metal, so the visual payoff is immediate.

Fully opaque with a smooth, metal-like surface, these thorns carry a cool silver tone that sits convincingly between glass and hardware — no shimmer, no translucency, just clean reflective presence.

What to make with them

String them vertically as dramatic fringe drops on earrings or necklace pendants, or work them into bead-woven pieces where the top hole lets them hang with a clean, directional swing. They're also well-suited for gothic or industrial-style collar necklaces where the spike silhouette does the heavy lifting.
