These Preciosa Ornela fire polished Czech glass drop beads in jet black measure 6x8mm and come 320 pieces to a pack — enough to commit fully to a design without rationing every bead. The opaque finish and teardrop silhouette make them a reliable workhorse for dark, graphic, or high-contrast work.

Solid, light-blocking jet black with no translucency — the opaque finish means the color reads as a flat, dense black from every angle, with the fire polished facets adding catch and dimension without softening the intensity.

What to make with them

String them as pendants or focal drops in Victorian-inspired necklaces and earrings, or work them into fringe and tassel designs where the teardrop shape adds natural movement. They're also well-suited for bead weaving projects — think Gothic or Whimsigoth collars — where consistent color and the faceted surface create strong visual rhythm.
