Preciosa Ornela's Thorn Sfinx beads are pressed Czech glass in a striking 5x16mm elongated spike shape with a top hole — 240 pieces per pack, ready for serious project work.

The Sfinx finish deepens the grey-black color with a subtle mirrored quality, giving each thorn a moody, dimensional surface that shifts slightly as it catches light.

What to make with them

The top-drilled orientation makes these ideal for fringe work, hanging drops in earrings, or cascading necklace elements where the full spike silhouette can swing freely — and their narrow profile works well stitched in rows for a structured, architectural collar or cuff edge. Handle with care: the Sfinx surface is delicate and should be kept away from friction and chemicals to preserve the finish.

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