Farfalle beads — the bow-tie-shaped Czech glass beads cut from glass tube — bring a distinctly vintage silhouette to your work, and this dark topaz AB colorway makes the most of that shape with a strong rainbow finish that shifts and catches light from every angle.
The transparent dark topaz base reads as a warm, deep amber-brown, while the AB coating lays a dramatic multicolor iris sheen over it — think oil-slick rainbows over dark honey.

What to make with them
Their flat, winged profile makes farfalle beads ideal for surface embroidery and bead weaving accents where you want dimensional texture without added bulk — try them as connector beads between rounds in peyote or as focal clusters in fringe earrings where the bow-tie shape can flutter freely.
Description
Preciosa Traditional Czech Beads Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 03x07mm. 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.
