Preciosa Ornela 6/0 seed beads in metallic purple arrive in a set of 6 strands, giving you a generous supply of Czech glass cut from the tube for consistent shape and reliable sizing between 3.7 and 4.3 mm. That solid metallic surface punches well above its weight for a size 6/0 bead, making it a go-to when you need real visual presence without scaling up to larger focal pieces.
The metallic finish wraps each bead in a smooth, high-shine purple surface that reads as bold and saturated under any light — no translucency, just a strong, dramatic hit of color.

What to make with them
At 3.7–4.3 mm, these E beads are well-suited to bead weaving projects where you want a chunkier, more graphic result — think Ndebele herringbone cuffs, right-angle weave panels, or strung statement necklaces where the metallic sheen can stack up and catch the light in sequence. They also work beautifully as accent beads in macramé or fiber work, threaded onto warp strands to add structured glints of purple throughout a woven piece.
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.
