These Preciosa Ornela size 1/0 seed beads in transparent amethyst are among the largest seed bead sizes available, measuring 6.3–6.8 mm and cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia — giving you a substantial, faceted bead with real presence on the needle.
The transparent finish lets light pass cleanly through the amethyst glass, so the purple reads differently in shade versus direct light — shifting from deep violet to a brighter, luminous grape.

What to make with them
Their size makes them well-suited for stringing as a standalone necklace or bracelet strand, and they work beautifully as spacers or accent beads in bead weaving projects where you want a bold pop of color between finer seed bead work.
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.
