Preciosa Ornela Seed Bead Silk Purple 10/0

Preciosa Ornela 10/0 seed beads in Silk Purple arrive in a full hank, cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia — a reliable, consistent bead that serious makers reach for when they need a rich purple they can count on.

The silk finish gives this opaque purple a soft, fabric-like sheen — less flashy than a luster or AB, more like light catching a piece of dupioni at just the right angle.

What to make with them

At 2.2–2.4 mm, these 10/0s are well-suited for bead weaving patterns like peyote and brick stitch where color depth reads clearly at small scale, and they work equally well strung into dense fringe for earrings or woven into loom bracelets where that moody, warm purple can build real visual weight.
