The Ripple pressed glass bead from Czech brand Preciosa Ornela features a round disc shape that's contoured with an undulating, rippled surface. The organic shape of the Ripple bead creates a unique texture when the beads are nested. The centrally located hole allows this bead to be used easily in combination with seed beads or fire polished beads during stringing or embroidery. As a pressed and tumbled glass bead, these may vary in size, color and shape.
