These 5x5mm machine-cut crystal diamond beads from Preciosa Ornela come 144 pieces to a pack, giving you a solid working quantity of a shape that catches light from every faceted angle. The diamond profile is a versatile departure from the standard bicone, with flat-edged geometry that sits distinctively in stitched and strung work.

White Opal glass has a milky, semi-transparent quality with a soft internal glow — not stark white, but a gentle luminosity that diffuses light rather than reflecting it sharply.

What to make with them

The diamond shape works especially well in right-angle weave and peyote stitch where its flat edges align cleanly with neighboring beads, and it's a natural fit for bridal jewelry, delicate earrings, and vintage-inspired pieces where that quiet, glowing white reads as refined rather than flashy.
