Preciosa Ornela Pips Purple Sfinx 5x7mm

Preciosa Ornela Pip beads in a 5x7mm pressed glass shape — 420 pieces of opaque purple glass with the Sfinx finish, made in Bohemia, Czechia. That count gives you serious working room for layered, statement-scale projects.

The Sfinx finish works a special surface treatment over the opaque purple base, deepening the color and adding a subtle mirrored depth — moody and dimensional rather than flat or flashy.

What to make with them

Pip beads sit beautifully in peyote and right-angle weave, where their curved profile creates a naturally scalloped, petal-like surface — try them in a collar necklace or cuff for a Victorian or gothic edge. They also lend themselves to bead embroidery as fill elements around a focal cabochon, though handle with care: the Sfinx surface is delicate and doesn't tolerate friction or chemicals.

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