PRECIOSA Pip™ N. 100 - 5x7mm - Black Opaque, Combi Luster

Glassmaking traditions in the Crystal Valley have flourished for centuries, resulting in unique shapes like the Pip® par Puca®. These small, petal-shaped components are a testament to the enduring legacy of Czech glass beads, offering designers a specialized form that bridges the gap between traditional craft and modern geometric jewelry. The distinctive teardrop silhouette is pressed from high-quality glass to ensure consistency in every batch of these jewelry making supplies.

Working with the 5x7mm dimensions of these beads allows for the creation of intricate, organic textures in any project. The Black Opaque base is enhanced by a sophisticated Combi Luster finish, which provides a metallic, multi-toned sheen that reacts beautifully to ambient light. Because the hole is located at the tapered top, they hang perfectly to create movement or can be layered to mimic fish scales or flower petals in floral bead designs.

• Durable Black Opaque glass with a premium metallic luster finish.
• Unique petal shape designed for dimensional bead weaving.
• Versatile 5x7mm size compatible with various stringing materials.
• Authentic Preciosa quality from the heart of Bohemia.

Designers often find that the Preciosa Twin beads are a natural partner for this shape, as the Pip excellently supplements Twin two-hole beads to add volume and flair to woven structures. Using these together in a circular pattern creates a ruffled, 3D effect that is highly sought after in contemporary Puca collection layouts. For a striking contrast, pair these dark metallic beads with crystal clear accents to highlight the depth of the luster.

For those exploring more complex relief applications, combining Preciosa Chilli beads with these petals creates a stunning botanical effect. The interplay between the elongated Chilli and the rounded Pip allows for realistic floral clusters and textured borders in necklaces or bracelets. The 0.8mm hole size ensures that standard needles can easily facilitate the construction of these detailed floral bead designs.

Embracing these Preciosa components allows you to participate in a 300-year-old story of artistry and innovation. Whether you are building a statement necklace or subtle earrings, the 5x7mm Pip offers a balance of affordability and aesthetic elegance. By choosing these Czech glass beads, you are ensuring your handmade jewelry carries the weight of European tradition and modern artistic excellence.
