Preciosa Ornela's 9/0 three-cut seed beads in Amethyst AB arrive in a full hank of Czech glass, each bead faceted from a cut glass tube to catch and scatter light in every direction. The three-cut construction multiplies the surface angles compared to a standard round seed bead, giving you noticeably more sparkle per stitch.
The transparent amethyst base glows with depth, while the AB finish lays a strong multicolor rainbow reflection over the surface — shifting between violet, teal, and gold depending on the light hitting it.

What to make with them
These are a natural fit for peyote or brick stitch pieces where the facets can do their work flat against the fabric, and they shine equally well strung into fringe where movement keeps the rainbow reflection active. Weavers working on statement collars or cuffs will appreciate how the 9/0 size balances presence with flexibility across larger surface areas.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 09/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.6 mm across with a 0.90 mm (approx.) hole. These round seed beads are made using Preciosa's tube-cutting and hot-polishing process, which gives them a gently rounded shape and consistent hole size that works beautifully for loom work, off-loom bead weaving, bead embroidery, and general stringing projects. Use them anywhere you need classic Czech rocailles—from intricate peyote and brick stitch to fringe, edging, and multi-strand designs. Not a toy. Not intended for children under 15 years. Seed beads should be kept away from small children due to the risk of swallowing or inhalation.
