Preciosa Ornela Seed Bead Transparent Deep Amethyst 6/0

$2086 $3477

SKU: 6SB299

These are Preciosa Ornela 6/0 seed beads in transparent deep amethyst, sold in a bulk pack of 36 strands — a serious quantity for weavers, stringers, and beaders who go through purples fast. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, they carry that consistent Czech quality makers rely on for even tension and predictable results.

The transparent finish means deep amethyst reads as rich, saturated violet when light passes through it — glassy and luminous rather than flat, with color that shifts subtly depending on your thread color and backing.

What to make with them

At 3.7–4.3 mm, these E beads are a go-to for loom work, kumihimo, and stringing projects where you want a bead with real presence and good drape. They're also well-suited for fringe, tassel work, and mixed-media fiber projects where the larger size holds its own against heavier components.

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.
