These Preciosa Ornela size 1/0 seed beads in opaque dark purple come in a 15-strand pack, giving you serious working quantity of a Czech glass classic cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia. At 6.3–6.8 mm, the 1/0 is one of the larger seed bead sizes, making it a go-to when you want bold scale and fast coverage.

The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent dark purple — no light passes through, so the color reads as strong and graphic whether you're working under bright studio lights or dim display conditions.

What to make with them

The chunky 1/0 size is well-suited to fiber arts like kumihimo, macramé embellishment, and woven wall hangings where a pronounced bead presence is part of the design. It also works well for statement jewelry — think chunky strung necklaces, wrapped bracelets, or fringe earrings where the larger diameter lets the deep purple color do the heavy lifting.
