Preciosa Ornela 11/0 seed beads in Light Amethyst transparent glass, sold in a 6-hank quantity — that's serious working stock of a soft, cool purple that earns its place in a lot of projects. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, these rocailles carry the consistent sizing and smooth finish that make Preciosa Ornela a go-to for bead weavers who can't afford surprises mid-project.

The transparent finish lets light pass straight through the glass, giving the Light Amethyst color a luminous, watery quality — more lavender whisper than saturated purple.

What to make with them

At 11/0 these are right at home in peyote and brick stitch work where tight bead-to-bead registration matters, and the transparent color plays especially well in loom-woven pieces or right-angle weave where layered light creates depth across the fabric. They're also a natural choice for fringe, netted overlays, and embroidery on fabric where you want color without visual weight.
