These are size 1/0 Czech glass seed beads from Preciosa Ornela — cut from glass tube in Bohemia and measuring 6.3–6.8 mm, they're among the chunkier end of the seed bead spectrum, and this listing gets you 8 strands at once.
The transparent amethyst finish is clear, light-passing purple glass — color that glows when light hits it rather than sitting flat on the surface.

What to make with them
At 6.3–6.8 mm, these work beautifully as statement elements in macramé or fiber work, strung as bold single-strand necklaces, or incorporated into loom weaving where you want a larger-scale, graphic repeat in a rich purple tone.
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.
