Preciosa Ornela Charlotte Cut seed beads in size 13/0 Transparent Amethyst arrive in an 18-hank quantity, giving serious beaders a substantial working supply of one of the most faceted, light-catching cuts in Czech glass. The single-facet Charlotte cut means each tiny bead has one flat face ground into it, producing a sparkle that standard round seed beads simply can't match.

The transparent amethyst finish is clear, see-through purple glass that lets light pass straight through, so the color shifts and deepens depending on your thread color, backing fabric, or the angle of the light hitting those Charlotte facets.

What to make with them

At 1.6–1.8 mm, these 13/0 Charlottes are ideal for fine bead embroidery, tambour beading, and needle-woven lace structures like peyote or brick stitch where the extra sparkle reads as texture rather than glitter. They're also a go-to edging bead for finishing the borders of woven pieces, where that single facet catches light along the fringe line.
