Preciosa Ornela Pips Sfinx 5x7mm

These Preciosa Ornela Czech glass Pip beads in 5x7mm come 600 pieces to a pack, giving you serious working quantity of a shape that sits flat, layers beautifully, and adds structured dimension wherever you use it. The Sfinx finish puts them in a class of their own.

Sfinx is a special surface treatment that deepens the grey-black color family and lays a subtle mirrored depth over the opaque glass — the result reads somewhere between matte and metallic depending on the light.

What to make with them

Pips are a go-to for peyote and right-angle weave because their curved form creates a scalloped, dimensional surface — try them face-up in a collar or cuff for a modern gothic effect. They also work well as layered fringe elements or as tile-like accents in bead embroidery where the flat back keeps them lying flush against the foundation. Handle with care: the Sfinx surface is delicate and should be kept away from friction and chemicals.

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