These 3mm dark amethyst fire polished rounds from Preciosa Ornela pack a lot of punch for a small bead — faceted Czech glass that catches light with every turn, in a rich, deep purple that reads as genuinely jewel-toned. You get 100 pieces per pack, so there's enough to commit to a full design.
Transparent glass with no surface coating means light travels straight through the dark amethyst tint, giving each facet a clean, wine-dark glint rather than a flat or frosted look.

What to make with them
