Preciosa Ornela's Chilli beads are a Czech glass two-hole pressed shape — 4x11mm with a slight curve and tapered ends — and this red pastel pearl version comes in a generous 320-piece count ready for serious project work.

The pastel pearl coat gives the red glass a soft, matte-luminous surface that reads as a hushed, romantic red rather than a high-gloss one — closer to a dried rose than a lacquered nail.

What to make with them

The two holes and elongated form make Chilli beads a natural for superduo-style brickwork, netting, and peyote borders where the shape adds dimensional texture; they're also well suited to two-hole bead weaving patterns like Cellini spirals or as accent repeats in loom work where that curved silhouette creates gentle movement along a finished edge.
