These 5x16mm thorn beads from Preciosa Ornela taste like something plucked straight from a briar patch — long, tapered pressed glass shapes that bring organic movement to any design.
The White Alabaster Orchid Silk Matt finish gives these thorns a soft, muted lavender-white glow with a chalky, matte surface that feels earthy rather than glossy.
