Preciosa Ornela FACET Round Dark Sapphire Aurora Borealis Finish 8mm

These 8mm dark sapphire AB fire polished rounds from Preciosa Ornela come 150 pieces to a pack — a generous quantity of a deep, faceted Czech glass bead that earns its place in serious work. The AB coating is rated high durability, so the finish stays put through wear.

Dark sapphire glass sits beneath an iridescent rainbow coating that shifts across the facets as the bead moves, pulling cool blue into flashes of violet, green, and gold depending on the light.

What to make with them

The 8mm size and crisp fire polished faceting make these well-suited for statement necklaces, chunky beaded bracelets, and bead-embroidery focal rows where you want a bead that catches light at every angle. They also work beautifully strung as spacers between larger pendants or woven into right-angle weave panels where the shifting AB finish adds depth without adding a second color.
