These are Preciosa Ornela 6/0 E Beads in transparent sapphire — six strands of Czech glass cut from the tube for clean, consistent shape and a rich blue that reads true from any angle.
The transparent finish lets light pass straight through the glass, giving the sapphire color depth and clarity rather than a surface coating — what you see shifts subtly depending on your thread color and light source.

What to make with them
At 3.7–4.3 mm, these E Beads are a natural fit for stringing statement necklaces, knotted bracelets, and bead-woven pieces where you want the color to carry — try them in right-angle weave or as spacers between larger focal beads to let that transparent blue breathe.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 06/0- E Beads. Each bead measures approximately 4.1 mm across with a 1.10 mm 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.
