These Preciosa Ornela size 1/0 seed beads in opaque dark purple run 6.3–6.8 mm — a bold, large-scale Czech glass rocaille cut from glass tube that gives you serious visual weight and a clean, consistent shape to work with.
The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent dark purple that reads as strong and graphic — no light passes through, so the color stays rich and saturated whether you're working under studio lights or wearing the piece outdoors.

What to make with them
At size 1/0, these beads are well-suited for chunky loom work, large-scale bead embroidery on fabric or leather, and statement fringe where you want each bead to register on its own — they're also a natural fit for macramé accents or knotted fiber work that calls for a substantial glass element.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 01/0. Each bead measures approximately 6.6 mm across with a 2.00 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.
