Preciosa Ornela 11/0 seed beads in Light Amethyst transparent glass, sold in a 6-hank quantity — that's serious working stock of a soft, cool purple that earns its place in a lot of projects. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, these rocailles carry the consistent sizing and smooth finish that make Preciosa Ornela a go-to for bead weavers who can't afford surprises mid-project.

The transparent finish lets light pass straight through the glass, giving the Light Amethyst color a luminous, watery quality — more lavender whisper than saturated purple.

What to make with them

At 11/0 these are right at home in peyote and brick stitch work where tight bead-to-bead registration matters, and the transparent color plays especially well in loom-woven pieces or right-angle weave where layered light creates depth across the fabric. They're also a natural choice for fringe, netted overlays, and embroidery on fabric where you want color without visual weight.

Description

Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 11/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.1 mm across with a 0.70 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.
