These 4mm Preciosa Ornela fire polished rounds in transparent dark sapphire are a workhorse bead — 100 pieces of Bohemian glass with faceted surfaces that catch and bend light into a deep, saturated blue. Fire polishing gives each bead a smooth, glossy finish that machine-cut facets alone can't match.

Transparent dark sapphire means you're getting rich, inkwell-blue glass with no surface coating between you and the color — light passes straight through and comes out looking like a lit stained-glass window.

What to make with them

At 4mm, these are a natural fit for bead weaving patterns like peyote or right-angle weave where a consistently sized round keeps tension even, and they string beautifully as spacers between larger focal beads in necklace or bracelet work.
