Preciosa Ornela 10/0 Czech glass seed beads in Transparent Amethyst AB, sold in a 5-hank quantity — that's serious yardage of a purple that earns its place in any ambitious project. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, these rocailles carry the consistent sizing and smooth stringing behavior Czech glass is known for.
The transparent amethyst base lets light pass through while the AB coating throws a strong multicolor rainbow reflection, so the purple shifts and flares depending on the angle — more drama than a flat color, less predictable than plain iris.

What to make with them
Five hanks gives you enough to commit to bead weaving a full statement collar or a long loom-woven band without rationing; the 10/0 size also works well for dense peyote or brick stitch pieces where you want the AB shimmer to read as an overall glow across the surface rather than a single-bead flash.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 10/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.3 mm across with a 0.80 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.
