PRECIOSA Pip™ N. 17 - 5x7mm - Turquoise Opaque

Soft pastel palettes and organic floral motifs are dominating current jewelry collections, making these petal-shaped components essential for any spring-inspired project. This delicate light blue hue offers a refreshing silhouette that mimics natural blossoms, perfect for creating romantic, feminine accessories that capture the essence of nature.

Preciosa Pip™ beads represent the finest Czech glass tradition, offering a unique small drop shape with a side-drilled hole. As part of the prestigious Pip® par Puca® collection, they are designed by French artist Annick Puca to fit together seamlessly, allowing for intricate sculptural designs that standard rounds cannot achieve.

Incorporating these drops into your designs allows for beautiful movement, especially when combined with Czech fire polished beads to create textured earrings or focal pendants. The teardrop profile of the 5x7mm size adds a professional, high-end finish to fringe work and dimensional beadwork where a subtle dangle is desired.

For a striking contrast, pair with copper accents to highlight the coolness of the opaque finish, or use with gold for a timeless, elegant look. This particular shade of light blue also beautifully complements light aqua or aquamarine tones for a sophisticated monochromatic gradient in summer-themed bracelets.

Many designers enjoy using these versatile petals alongside Matubo SuperDuo beads to construct elaborate circular medallions where the Pip beads act as the outer layer of petals. Their consistent glossy surface ensures that your patterns remain bold and visible, whether you are building 3D flowers or sleek geometric shapes.

Intricate bead weaving techniques like right-angle weave or brick stitch are ideal for these components, as their flat profile sits comfortably against the skin. Whether you are creating a cascading statement necklace or simple daily-wear studs, these Preciosa glass elements provide the versatility and 300-year heritage needed for professional-grade jewelry.
