These 4mm Preciosa Ornela machine-cut crystal diamond-shape beads come 144 pieces to a pack, each faceted in Bohemia for the kind of light-catching precision that makes a finished piece look intentional and considered. The Valentinite colorway sits in the grey-and-black family with a transparent body and an extra surface coating that shifts its color, sheen, or texture beyond the base glass.
That coated finish adds a layer of visual complexity to the transparent crystal — expect depth that reads differently depending on your light source and angle, rather than a flat, predictable tone.
The diamond shape works especially well stitched into right-angle weave or used as a drop element in fringe, where each facet gets room to catch light on its own terms. They're also a natural fit for Gothic, Victorian, or minimal modern jewelry — think statement earrings, a dramatic collar necklace, or a beaded cuff where geometry does the heavy lifting. Handle with some care in high-friction settings, as the surface coating carries medium-low durability.
The finish on these beads is delicate. Avoid prolonged exposure to friction, moisture, skin acids, and harsh chemicals to preserve the surface coating.
