These 7x10mm faceted drop beads from Preciosa Ornela are fire polished Czech glass, cut to catch light at every angle and sold in sets of 25. The teardrop silhouette and cool light grey transparent color make them a go-to for makers who want shape and movement without a lot of noise.

Light passes straight through the glass with no surface coating in the way, giving the light grey a clean, glassy depth that shifts from barely-there silver to a soft smoky tone depending on the light hitting it.

What to make with them

The drop shape is a natural for earrings — hang them solo for a minimal look or cluster several on a headpin for something with more drama. They also work well strung as accents in necklaces and rosaries wherever you want a tapered focal point to break up round beads.
