These 3mm Preciosa Ornela fire polished rounds in transparent matte ruby give you 1,200 pieces of deep red Czech glass with a frosted finish that reads rich rather than flashy — a quieter take on a saturated jewel tone.

The transparent ruby color glows with depth while the etched matte surface diffuses light into a soft, velvety finish that's distinctly non-reflective.

What to make with them

At 3mm, these are ideal for dense bead weaving patterns like peyote and brick stitch where a muted red adds color without competing with metallic or contrast beads, and they work equally well strung in long layered necklaces or used as spacers between larger focal pieces.
