These Preciosa Ornela pressed glass pip beads in transparent ruby measure 5x7mm and come 75 pieces to a pack — a generous working quantity of a shape that earns its place in serious bead work. The pip's gently pinched oval silhouette catches light from multiple angles, making it a reliable go-to when you want movement and dimension without bulk.

Transparent ruby glass lets you see straight through to whatever lies beneath — stringing cord, wire, or neighboring beads all show through and become part of the color story, deepening or shifting the red depending on what you pair it with.

What to make with them

Pip beads are a natural fit for right-angle weave and peyote bezels where their curved profile nestles neatly against seed beads, and they work equally well strung in repeating sequences on memory wire or multi-strand bracelets where the pinched waist creates a pleasing rhythm along the strand.
