Preciosa Ornela Seed Bead Transparent Deep Amethyst 8/0

$688 $1147

SKU: 8SB299R

Preciosa Ornela 8/0 seed beads in transparent deep amethyst arrive by the hank, giving you a serious working supply of rich, glassy purple cut from Bohemian glass tubing.

The transparent finish lets light pass straight through the glass, so the deep amethyst color glows from within rather than sitting flat on the surface.

What to make with them

At 2.8–3.2 mm, these 8/0s are a go-to size for bead weaving structures like peyote and herringbone where you want a bit more visual weight than an 11/0, and they string up beautifully on multi-strand bracelets or knotted necklaces where that jewel-toned purple can really read.

Description

Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 08/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.9 mm across with a 0.90 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.
