Preciosa Ornela Faceted Drop Transparent Alexandrite 5x7mm

These 5x7mm faceted drop beads in transparent alexandrite are fire polished Czech glass from Bohemia — 50 pieces of a color that shifts between cool purple and violet depending on the light around them.

Transparent alexandrite lets light pass cleanly through the glass, so the facets catch and scatter it in a way that gives the bead real depth and a color that reads differently in natural versus artificial light.

What to make with them

The teardrop silhouette works naturally as an earring drop or pendant focal, and the faceting makes them strong candidates for fringe work, where movement keeps the light interaction going; they also sit well in bead-woven bezels where the pointed tip can peek out from a scalloped edge.
