Preciosa Crystal Diamond Heliotrope 4mm

These 4mm Preciosa Ornela machine-cut crystal diamond-shape beads come in a package of 144 pieces, giving you a solid working quantity of a precision-cut Bohemian crystal in a heliotrope coated finish. The diamond silhouette catches light at sharp angles, making each bead punch above its modest size.

Heliotrope is a surface coating that shifts the transparent crystal's appearance, lending it a dark, iridescent quality that reads differently depending on the light — moody and multidimensional rather than flat.

What to make with them

The diamond shape works particularly well strung in repeating sequences for necklaces and bracelets where the faceted edges create a continuous play of light, and it's equally at home in earring drops or woven into peyote and right-angle weave where the pointed profile adds a distinctly edged, Gothic or Victorian character. Handle with some care in high-friction applications, as the surface coating carries a medium-low durability rating.

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