These 5mm machine-cut crystal diamond-shape beads from Preciosa Ornela come 144 pieces to a pack, giving you a solid working quantity of genuine Bohemian glass crystal in a faceted silhouette that catches light from every angle.

The Crystal Velvet finish is a surface coating applied over transparent crystal — expect a softened, muted sheen rather than a hard sparkle, as though the clarity underneath has been given a quieter, velvety presence.

What to make with them

The diamond shape works especially well strung in graduated necklaces or used as spacers between larger focal beads, and the 5mm size is a natural fit for earring drops and fine bead-weaving accents where a faceted point adds dimension without overwhelming the design — just keep in mind the medium-low durability rating means this coated finish is happiest in lower-friction applications like pendants or stitched pieces rather than bracelets that take daily wear.

The finish on these beads is delicate. Avoid prolonged exposure to friction, moisture, skin acids, and harsh chemicals to preserve the surface coating.
