91DP609-MR: Preciosa Ornela 5x16mm White Alabaster Grey Silk Matte Thorn Beads is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Preciosa Ornela's 5x16mm Thorn beads bring a sleek, tapered silhouette to Czech pressed glass — each package contains 25 pieces in White Alabaster Grey Silk Matte, a finish that sits right at the intersection of soft and sophisticated.
The White Alabaster Grey Silk Matte finish gives these thorns a hushed, chalky warmth — neither stark white nor cool grey, but a quiet in-between with a silky, light-diffusing surface rather than any shine.
Specifications

What to make with them
Their elongated spike shape makes them naturals for fringe earrings and pendant drops where movement and dimension matter; they also work beautifully stitched into bead embroidery as dimensional accents or layered in right-angle weave for a sculptural, modern edge.
