Preciosa Ornela 10/0 seed beads in Terra Intensive Purple give you a deep, rich purple in a size 10/0 cut-glass-tube rocaille, sold in a generous 5-hank quantity. The Terra Intensive finish carries a durability rating of 3 (moderate), so keep them away from abrasives and harsh chemicals.
The Terra coating gives this purple an earthy, ceramic-like surface that reads less like glass and more like something hand-thrown, with depth and a matte-adjacent finish that feels decidedly artisan.

What to make with them
Their consistent 2.2–2.4 mm sizing makes these well-suited for loom-woven bands, peyote or brick-stitch statement cuffs, and Native-style beadwork. The moody, earthy purple also translates beautifully into fringe earrings or woven pendants where that ceramic quality adds visual texture.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 10/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.3 mm across with a 0.80 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.
