PRECIOSA Pip™ N. 18 - 5x7mm - Blue Opaque

Botanical-inspired jewelry remains a timeless favorite in the artisanal world, where organic shapes breathe life into complex woven patterns. These Pip™ beads offer the perfect petal-like geometry needed to construct realistic floral components or textured surfaces in contemporary beadwork. Their unique single-hole placement at the narrow end allows them to fan out beautifully, creating movement and depth that standard round beads cannot achieve.

Artisanal quality is the hallmark of this Blue Opaque finish, which showcases the legendary color range of Preciosa glass. As a core element of the Amos® par Puca® design system, these beads pair beautifully with Czech fire polished beads for added dimension. The smooth, glossy surface reflects a soft light that enhances the saturation of the medium blue tone, making them a standout choice for both casual and high-end designs.

• Elegant petal shape for dimensional 3D flowers
• Rich opaque finish with a smooth glossy surface
• Compatible with the entire Les Perles par Puca® range
• Durable Czech glass construction for lasting quality

Creative possibilities expand significantly when you combine these units with Preciosa Chilli beads to create dramatic relief textures or layered medallions. The way the tapered edges sit against other shaped beads makes them essential for anyone mastering advanced beadweaving techniques or bead embroidery. Their 5x7mm size is versatile enough for delicate earrings yet substantial enough to serve as a focal point in a textured bracelet.

Designing a cohesive jewelry set is effortless when these petals are used to border a central cabochon or as fringe on a statement necklace. For a striking contrast, pair with orange hyacinth tones, or keep the palette harmonious by mixing in turquoise and neutral silver accents. Whether you are building intricate mandalas or simple drops, these beads provide the professional finish that characterizes genuine Czech glass craftsmanship.
