Preciosa Crystal Diamond Honey 3mm

These 3mm Preciosa Ornela machine-cut crystal diamond-shape beads in Dia Honey come 144 pieces to a pack, giving you a solid working quantity of a faceted Bohemian crystal in a warm brown-gold colorway. The precise machine cutting catches light cleanly across every facet, which is exactly what you want from a small crystal meant to do detail work.

Dia Honey sits in that rich amber-to-gold range, and the surface coating shifts its sheen beyond plain glass — expect a warm, slightly luminous quality that reads differently depending on your light source and thread color beneath it. Keep in mind the coating carries medium-low durability, so it's happiest in finished pieces that won't see heavy abrasion.

What to make with them

At 3mm, these diamonds are well-suited to fine bead embroidery where they can be set point-to-point for a geometric fill, or stitched as accent stones between seed beads in peyote and brick stitch. They also work beautifully as ear-wire drops or in wirewrapped clusters where the diamond silhouette stays visible and the facets can do their job.

The finish on these beads is delicate. Avoid prolonged exposure to friction, moisture, skin acids, and harsh chemicals to preserve the surface coating.
