Preciosa Ornela's pressed Czech glass Thorn beads arrive in a generous 240-piece count, each measuring 5x16mm with a top hole that makes them hang cleanly from stringing material or wire. The elongated thorn silhouette is a genuine design statement — architectural and sharp in the best possible way.

The shiny silver metallic finish delivers a fully opaque, metal-like surface that reads as plated metal, giving each piece a sleek industrial weight without the actual heft.

What to make with them

String them vertically as fringe drops on a bib necklace or loom-woven collar for a modern Art Deco effect, or wire-wrap clusters of thorns into earring components where the top hole keeps them oriented and intentional. They're also well-suited to knotted or chain-link designs where the elongated form can swing freely and catch the light.
