Preciosa Ornela 8/0 silver-lined amethyst seed beads come by the hank, cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia — a reliable Czech glass rocaille in a size that works hard across a wide range of techniques.
The transparent amethyst glass sits over a reflective silver core, so the beads throw light from the inside out with a cool, jewel-like sparkle.

What to make with them
At 2.8–3.2 mm, these 8/0s are a natural fit for bead weaving structures like peyote and herringbone where a slightly chunkier rocaille adds visual weight, and they string beautifully for knotted necklaces or multi-strand bracelets where the silver lining catches light between the knots.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 08/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.9 mm across with a 0.90 mm (approx.) 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.
