Preciosa Ornela Faceted Round Black Aurora Borealis Finish 10mm

These 10mm Preciosa Ornela fire polished rounds in opaque black AB come 150 pieces to a pack — a substantial quantity of a workhorse bead that pulls serious weight in any design. The faceted surface and permanent iridescent coating make black do things black doesn't usually do.

The AB finish lays a shifting rainbow over the opaque black base, so the bead reads as deep and dark from one angle, then catches violet, teal, or gold as the light moves across the facets.

What to make with them

At 10mm these are bold enough to anchor a statement necklace or chunky bracelet on their own, and the faceted fire polished surface gives them enough sparkle to hold their own strung between metals or crystals. They're also a natural for knotted or wrapped designs where you want a dramatic focal bead that doesn't compete with intricate knotwork.
