These Preciosa Ornela 6/0 seed beads in Picasso Amethyst come in a set of 6 strands, giving you a generous working supply of Czech glass cut from tube stock in Bohemia, Czechia — sized at 3.7–4.3 mm, they're substantial enough to carry real visual weight in any design.
The transparent amethyst glass is dressed in a Picasso finish that lays down speckled, earthy marbling across the surface, so each bead reads like a tiny slice of weathered stone rather than a flat color.

What to make with them
Their size and organic, moody character make them well-suited for macramé or fiber work where a chunkier bead adds grounding contrast, and they're equally at home strung as standalone necklaces or woven into peyote and right-angle weave pieces where the Picasso variation creates the kind of irregular, handcrafted depth that flat finishes simply can't.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 06/0- E Beads. Each bead measures approximately 4.1 mm across with a 1.10 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.
