These 11/0 dark violet seed beads from Preciosa Ornela come in a generous 6-hank quantity, cut from glass tube in Bohemia for the consistent shape and sizing serious beadwork demands. The PermaLux pearl coating earns a durability rating of 1 — the highest available — so finished pieces hold up to everyday wear without the color fading or flaking over time.
The PermaLux pearl coating lays a lustrous, pearlescent veil over deep violet glass, giving each bead a soft luminosity that reads as both rich and subtly ethereal.

What to make with them
Their reliable 2.0–2.2 mm sizing makes them a natural fit for loom work, peyote, and brick stitch projects where consistent tension matters — think wide cuffs, structured collars, or intricate tapestry panels. The dark violet pearl tone also works beautifully in fringe embellishments and embroidered appliqué on bridal or gothic-adjacent textile pieces.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 11/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.1 mm across with a 0.70 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.
