Preciosa Ornela 11/0 seed beads in Brown Iris arrive by the hank, cut from glass tube in Bohemia for the consistent shape and smooth thread passage Czech glass is known for. The opaque brown base paired with a strong iris finish gives you a bead that reads earthy and iridescent at the same time — a combination that's harder to find than it sounds.

Expect a rich, warm brown ground shot through with dramatic multicolor rainbow reflection — the iris finish shifts and catches light in a way that makes these beads look different depending on the angle and the company they keep.

What to make with them

These work beautifully in peyote or brick stitch pieces where the iris shimmer builds up across a flat surface, creating depth that solid-color beads can't match. They're also a strong choice for fringe, loom work, or strung designs where an earthy palette needs a little movement without going fully metallic.
