Preciosa Ornela 5x16mm Jet Black Opaque Bronze Thorn Beads

These 5x16mm pressed Czech glass Thorn beads from Preciosa Ornela come 25 pieces per pack and bring serious structural drama — their elongated, tapered form gives designs an organic, almost botanical edge that flat or round beads simply can't replicate.

Jet black opaque glass meets a bronze finish, creating a dark, warm-toned surface that reads earthy and rich rather than stark — think aged iron or a beetle's wing.

What to make with them

String them as bold focal drops in earring designs where the thorn shape does the heavy lifting, or weave them into bead embroidery and fringe work to add dimensional, spike-like texture alongside seed beads and cabochons.
